Palynological analyses of eight cuttings and three sidewall core samples from the petroleum exploration drillhole Troas 1, in the SA offshore Otway Basin, show two distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The youngest samples are dated as Late Eocene,...

Palynological analysis and dating of samples from MPB 125 drillhole, St Vincent Basin, indicates the presence of late Middle Eocene sediments in the Lower Nothofagidites asperus Zone. Taxa from MPB 125 are correlated with palynofloras from One Tree...

Palynological analysis of one drill cuttings sample taken from the rotary precollar portion of BHP Minerals' Spencer Gulf diamond drillhole KGD01001 indicates the presence of Late Eocene - Early Oligocene sediments that are attributed to the upper...

Palynological analyses of eight rotary cuttings samples taken from Konkaby 1 drillhole in the eastern Eucla Basin show distinctive microfloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Middle Eocene, and correlate with the Lower Nothofagidites...

Palynological analyses of seven cuttings samples taken from the Kingoonya Palaeochannel area drillholes KINPC 1 and KINPC 2 indicate the presence of Late Miocene - Early Pliocene fluvial sediments, whose age is confirmed by recognition of palynomorphs...

Palynological analyses of four drill cuttings samples taken from the Nalara Palaeochannel NR 3 and NR 4 drillholes, located in the eastern part of the Eucla Basin, show distinctive microfloral assemblages. The samples from both drillholes have been...

Four selected drill cuttings samples spanning a 12-metre depth interval within BHP Minerals' BR 97001 drillhole, located 26 km west of Lyndhurst, have been palynologically analysed and dated. Their contained palynoflora are correlative with the...

Palynofloras from Cape Barren and Flinders Islands, Tasmania, are time equivalents to those characteristic of the Early Oligocene - Early Miocene Proteacidites tuberculatus Zone (Stover & Partridge, 1973). Pollen dominance of the Rooks River...

Brown coal has been reported in the past from a number of localities on Eyre Peninsula having been discovered chiefly during water boring. A few of the more promising areas have been investigated further by boring and samples analysed. Existing...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

18 drill cuttings samples obtained from three shallow PIRSA stratigraphic holes drilled in the Port Lincoln and Mount Hope regions of the southern Eyre Peninsula (LINC 10, LINC 13, LINC 47) have been palynologically analysed and dated. Palynomorphs...

Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

Palynological analyses of eight drill cuttings samples from Burrungule 1 well, in the onshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), and...

Palynological analyses of seven cutting samples from several drillholes in the eastern Eucla Basin, South Australia, indicate the presence of Late Miocene - Early Pliocene sediments, correlated with the Monotocidites galeatus spore-pollen zone. Open...

The Abminga bedrock drilling program was initiated in 1999 as part of the Targeted Exploration Initiative of South Australia (TEISA) strategy conceived by the SA Government and implemented through PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group. Drilling was proposed...

In mid-1980, CRA Exploration took out four mineral tenements in the Polda Basin area of western Eyre Peninsula to explore for Tertiary and Jurassic lignites and also for possible Permian sub-bituminous coal. Interest in this area had been generated by...

Relinquishment of parts of the licenses held in the Lock, Tuckey and Tooligie area was made following drilling (31 holes totalling 2 960 metres) to investigate lignite occurrence in the Polda Basin. Possible reserves of Jurassic and Eocene coals in...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...
