Human and animal footprints are preserved in 2 different settings near Clare Bay. Macropod tracks occur in laminated beach sediment of Late Pleistocene age (c. 110 000 year BP). They are preserved beneath a former prograding coastal fore-dune complex...

Sedimentation in the Great Australian Bight (GAB) has occurred in a variety of settings from the initial intra-cratonic rift to the modern carbonate shelf. An extensive palaeodrainage system, remnants of which are still preserved, supplied clastic...

Examination of the lithologies of Aboriginal artefacts from western South Australia has been undertaken and the lithologies categorised. Stone tools were manufactured from a range of indurated silicified materials, derived from abundant local...

This paper describes the type fossil occurrences, their present-day geological setting and, as deduced from properties of the host sediments, their interpreted palaeogeographic locations and palaeoenvironmental depositional facies which probably...

Stable isotopes (deuterium, carbon-13 and oxygen-18) and radiocarbon (carbon-14) have been used in conjunction with chemical data to evaluate recharge mechanisms, groundwater residence time and palaeohydrology within the confined Dilwyn Formation sand...

The Murray Basin contains major deposits of heavy mineral sands, and intensive exploration for them is currently being conducted in Victoria, SA and NSW. It is evident that the western part of the basin was well supplied during the Pliocene and Early...

The framework of Kangaroo Island was largely established during the Cambrian, when widespread marine sedimentation resulted in thick accumulations of shallow shelf to deep marine terrigenous sediments. Orogenesis has deformed the strata into an...

There are no known major groundwater resources in the Garford area, which borders the Barton and Ooldea Ranges dunefield and Great Victoria Desert southwest of Coober Pedy. The groundwater that is used by graziers for stock watering occurs in...

This report presents the geological setting and postulated ore controls for the Mount Gunson style of mineralisation, with an expansion on the inferred metal concentration mechanism and its quantitative feasibility. Recommendations for two optimal...

This report on the history and condition of the abandoned pioneer silver-lead mines at Glen Osmond on Adelaide's eastern outskirts was prepared for the Burnside suburban council to allow it to make an informed discussion about the possibility of...

This technical report discusses the historical usage and the origin of a particular example of Cornish-invented steam powered engine technology, with reference to mining site remains and records of such engines used in South Australia, and those of...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

The disturbed soil profiles at 29 historic light to heavy industrial sites in the city of Hindmarsh were investigated to determine their respective levels of hazard contamination and suitability after rehabilitation for undergoing residential...

Between April and August 2009, exploratory drilling was undertaken by Iluka on EL 3233 (94 holes for 5052.5 m along 6 traverses, at a nominal spacing of 800 m to 1 km). 779 samples with a visually estimated grade of >0.5% HM were taken from 76...

Assays of tailings heaps at the Prince Alfred Mine, located 40 km north-east of Carrieton, returned 1-1.5% Cu. Up to 12.7 % Cu was recorded from rock sampling, and elevated Au and anomalous Cu were recorded in calcrete samples. Four areas of...

Exploration on SML 564 has consisted of a continuation of deep rotary mud open hole, plug and core drilling plus washing-out of existing, older Petromin "P...w" series drillholes to allow new generation downhole geophysical logging, aimed at further...

Deposition of the Early Cambrian Ouldburra Formation, a mixed siliciclastic/carbonate, marine carbonate and evaporite succession, occurred in the shallow marine setting of the Manya Trough. The observed variations between the facies are interpreted...
