A system of parallel arcuate ridges dominates the topography of the Billa Kalina area; facies relationships indicate that they are silicified strandlines of a Miocene lake which have been etched out by later erosion. Clays and dolomites of the Miocene...

Major deposits of palygorskite group minerals were formed in 3 different environments :(1) as chemical sediments, or early diagenetic transformations of certain smectite group clays, in epicontinental and inland seas and lakes; (2) by diagenesis of...

A shallow test hole was drilled near Cape Northumberland to check the feasibility of tunnelling through the Gambier Limestone beneath the sea bed. The drilling showed widespread flint throughout the limestone, and comparison with nearby outcrop...

A detailed description and interpretation of the carbonate lithologies present in drill cores recovered from two recently completed SADME stratigraphic wells have revealed that the Observatory Hill Beds in the Marla area were deposited in a shallow...

In a recent paper Williams and Goode (1978) proposed that the ancestral Murray River in South Australia debouched into Spencer Gulf in the region of the mouth of the River Broughton, just south of Port Pirie, during the Eocene and/or late Middle to...

Palaeoclimate is discussed, particularly in the central and southern parts of the continent, based on an overview of wide range of data. The oceanic record has provided the means for obtaining a refined chronological framework in which to place events...

Synthesis of previous data to provide a stratigraphy of the sites and an attempt to place constraints on the age of units which contain Aboriginal remains. The archaeological remains occur in aeolian sand which forms dunes on the East Bank of the...

Shallow drilling (<30 metres) at 14 sites intersected a regressive coastal sequence of Quaternary bioclastic sediments deposited in coastal aeolian, littoral, lagoonal and evaporative-lagoonal environments. Major calcrete carapaces assist the...

Flint occurs in 4 geological settings in the South-East - beds and dykes in the Gambier Limestone, bouldery conglomerate of the Bridgewater Formation, Holocene surface lag deposits and Holocene beach deposits. Pebbles from beach deposits between Cape...

Extensive field geological mapping, augmented by petrological and geochemical studies, reinterpretation of company drilling and water-bore logs and a nine-hole drilling programme has detailed the geology of the KINGOONYA area. The stratigraphy spans...

Recent advances in the understanding of the target Cambrian stratigraphy and its palaeogeographic setting, in combination with a realistic mineralization model, have established that the southern Arrowie Basin platform margin could be host to a...

Rare specs of gold were found at an old ochre mine next to the township of Oodla Wirra in remnant Tertiary and Recent alluvial deposits. Gold has also been recovered from a haematite vein in Adelaidean Umberatana Group rocks. Mining and sampling has...

The Adelaide Geosyncline is a deeply subsident Neoproterozoic to Middle Cambrian basin complex in South Australia with a record of at least five major successive rift cycles. Each rift system has its own locus and orientation. Although the rift...

Burra was the largest metalliferous mine in Australia between 1845 and 1860, and employed up to 1,000 men and boys. The workforce was predominantly Cornish, Burra being the first significant concentration of Cornish immigrants in Australia. The...

The Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic Officer Basin is located on and adjacent to the northwestern margin of the Gawler Craton. Deposition of the basin began in Adelaidean time, before and during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia. The...
