In Wilkinson 1 drillhole, 1 carbonaceous drill cuttings sample and 5 drill core samples were examined, and compared with sediments found in the Tallaringa Palaeodrainage System and Wallira West 1. Palynomorphs are present in the drill cuttings from...

In the past 25 years, late Palaeozoic sediments in South Australia have generally been assigned entirely to the Permian. Recent investigations especially by Balme (1980) suggest that a significant part of this succession, including most of the glacial...

Latest Carboniferous and earliest Permian ages are determined for 3 drill core samples.

CBH-2 intersected Mesozoic carbonaceous sandstones and shales overlying a flat lying red bed sequence of possible Cambrian age, with an ill defined contact between 602 and 609 metres depth. ? Cambrian rocks may belong to the Curnamona Cratonic Nucleus...

The Arckaringa Basin is closely related to the Pedirka, Cooper and Galilee Basins, all of which first received glacigene sediments in the Late Carboniferous with subsequent accumulation of coal measures in the Early Permian. Well preserved...

A Palaeocene age is determined for 2 samples from Lake Eyre bore 8a, and a Late Cretaceous age for 1 sample from Jackboot bore. Both of these holes are located in the Lake Eyre South region.

Most samples are early Tertiary from drilling by Afmeco Pty Ltd and Aberfoyle Exploration Pty Ltd.

Diverse palynomorph assemblages were recovered from Wilkinson 1 and are correlated with the latest Eocene Sparganiaceaepollenites barungensis Zone (Harris 1971) in South Australia and the upper Nothofagidites asperus Zone (Stover and Partridge 1973)...

Includes surface and subsurface stratigraphic data, and a geological map at 1:500 000 scale. 18 bores were re-logged.

A sparse, poorly preserved palynoflora was recovered from 3059 metres near the bottom of Mount Salt 1. The assemblage is tentatively assigned to the `Clavifera triplex zone of Turonian to Coniacian age.

16 samples produced sparse, poorly preserved microfloras. In Argonaut-A1 palynofloras are correlated with Late Cretaceous and Eocene zones, with an unconformity between Cretaceous and Tertiary. Local unconformities may occur in the Campanian section....

Palynoflora from Palankarinna 1 (at 104.9 m depth) is assigned to either the uppermost Phimopollenites pannosus spore / pollen zone or the Appendicisporites distocarinatus spore / pollen zone, of latest Albian to Cenomanian age, terrestrial, probably...

Palynomorph assemblages are very sparse and poorly preserved. One sample is assigned to the Contignisporites cooksoniae' Zone of Middle / Late Jurassic age.

Palynoflora at the type section 5.5 km SW of Mount Dutton and in the adjacent area are correlated with the Cyclosporites hughesii Zone of Aptian age. They indicate that this interval was deposited under freshwater to slightly paralic conditions....

Modern pollen from extant vegetation was studied to aid in interpreting palaeoenvironments from fossil pollen assemblages. They record evidence of vegetation and climate during the penultimate or last interglacial.

5 spore / pollen zones and 3 dinoflagellate zones are recognised in Toodla 1, ranging from late Jurassic to Late Albian. The Mesozoic units penetrated by this well on palynological evidence are younger than traditionally recognised in other parts of...

5 of 9 outcrop samples produced variably preserved palynofloras. 3 from the Crowsnest Bore area and 1 from lower Morris Creek (all from Mackunda Formation) are correlative with the middle part of the Phimopollenites pannosus Zone and are thus of...

Poorly preserved palynofloras in 3 samples are correlated with the Permian Stage 3b of Price (1983) and Interval Zone PP2.2 of Price et al, (1985). The age is Early Permian (Sakmarian).

Palynological analysis was undertaken on two coal samples and a shale sample from within and just above the Lower Series Coal Seams of the Telford Basin, Leigh Creek.- The lowermost coal was dominated by monolete spores and the upper coal by...

Based on results of SADM seismic refraction surveys Mucka Culda no. 1, 17 km NE of Colton, was drilled on shotpoint 6W of the Mount Wedge seismic traverse, for coal potential of the Polda Basin. Lignite was found in the thick Tertiary section. Absence...
