Outcrop and subsurface samples taken from various sources, that represent all the Cainozoic marine formations of the eastern Eucla Basin, have been studied. The current stratigraphic knowledge of these formations in SA is summarised. A marine...

The term "Eyrian Series", proposed by Woolnough and David in 1926 is here redefined in terms of the Australian Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature. In conformity with the code the original term is changed to EYRE FORMATION. The Eyre Formation is...

The Pedirka is a Permian infrabasin beneath the western Great Artesian Basin. It lies mainly in the central north of South Australia and the southeast of the Northern Territory but a small part may also extend into Queensland. Much of the eastern...

The upper Cretaceous and Tertiary palynomorph Proteacidites Cookson ex Couper 1953, is shown to be morphologically inhomogeneous. Two new genera, Postatriotriorites and Cranwellipollis are proposed, to receive certain species excluded from...

DSDP Site 214, at about 11°S on the 90E Ridge in the Indian Ocean penetrated below about 340 m to 500 m a sequence of carbonaceous to lignitic clays and sands interbedded with volcaniclastics. Palynolnological evidence, spores, pollen and...

Palynological examination of available sediments from the Pirie-Torrens Basin indicate that the earliest Tertiary sedimentation did not commence until the Middle Eocene. In this respect the basin is similar to the Saint Vincent Basin, with which it...

Palynological examination of cores and cuttings from F.P.C.(A.) Witcherrie, Purni and Mokari No.1 Wells in the Pedirka Basin suggests the following: 1. The Crown Point Formation is lowest Permian Stage. 2. The Purni Formation may be as old as Stage...

Stratigraphic well Muddy Tank 1 was drilled to sample fossiliferous late Jurassic clays. Consequently seen palynological evidence has firmly dated the Algebuckina Sandstone as very late Jurassic (ca. 144 to 141 Ma).

Two cores from Oodnadatta Town Bore No. 2 were examined for microfossils. A fishing core at about 72m is of Late Albian to ?Conomanian age and is correlated with the Mount Alexander Sandstone Member of the Oodnadatta Formation in Santos Oodnadatta No....

Palynological examination of 30 sidewall cores from GENEX Douglas Point No. 1 well over the Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary indicates a hiatus representative of the Lower and much of the Middle Paleocene. The Curdies Formation correlates with the...

Boreholes B2/73, B3/73 intersected (i) thin Quarternary units over ?Plio-Pleistocene Carisbrooke Sand, uncomformably overlying (without intervening Port Willunga Beds) (ii) an Eocene succession (correlated with the lower part of Reynolds' standard...

Pollen from deep-sea drillsites on the Ninetyeast Ridge reflects island floras that flourished. in the Paleocone and Oligocene, and showed pronounced similarity to Australian and New Zealand Early Tertiary floras. Although closer to southern...

A thirteen day excursion to Britain during September 1975 provided the opportunity to visit briefly the major outcrops of late Precambrian rocks of England, Scotland and Wales. These included (l) a fossiliferous vulcano-sedimentary sequence at...

Assemblages of spores and pollen are recorded from volcanogenic sediments immediately above oceanic basement at drillsites on the Ninety East Ridge, Indian Ocean, and are believed to reflect the vegetation of islands which were emergent along the...

An area on northern Arkaroola Station, which has since 26/4/2012 has been legally quarantined from mineral exploration operations under the South Australian Mining Act, was considered by its former titleholders to be prospective for an array of...

The principal aim of Flinders Diamonds Limited’s (FDL) exploration in the Chapel Hill area is to discover a commercial diamond deposit. The source of the "Echunga" diamonds, found in the alluvial gold workings within the Chapel Hill Fossicking Reserve...

An area located immediately west of the northern tip of Lake Torrens, and covered by the dunefield in which the head of Stuart Creek rises, was taken under licence by Western Mining Corp. (WMC) to document the stratigraphic section present on the...
