Vibrocores from the samphire marshes south of the North Arm of the Port River are used to interpret the shallow subsurface stratigraphy. 2 marine sequences of Holocene and Late Pleistocene age, consist of saturated, unconsolidated and largely...

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...

This guide concentrates on slope depositional processes and sediments of the largely deltaic slope and submarine fan facies Wilpena Group at the Patsy Springs Canyon and the Fortress Hill Canyon Complex. Summarised stratigraphic sections outline what...

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...

The Marte area, 10 km west of Mount Gambier is the largest producer of building stone in Australia. Reviews production of ashlars from Gambier Limestone with emphasis on the Mount Gambier area; coverage is incomplete for production of ashlars from the...

Mollusca recovered by Vibrocore drilling in Holocene sediments of the Saint Kilda Formation in 9 shallow bays on the far west coast are identified and the extent to which they reflect the tidal to supratidal environments in which they were deposited...

In exposures near Hartley and Monarto, and in the Paragum-1 borehole south of Monarto, it is shown that Oligocene marine transgression over an irregular topography of early Palaeozoic metasediment and granite first deposited a basal, marginal- marine,...

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...

Attempts have been made previously to correlate coal seams and interpret depositional environments and tectonics relative to the four Triassic coal deposits at Leigh Creek (Parkin 1953; Taylor 1954; Johns 1970, 1975; Johns and Townsend 1975). This...

Byilkaoora 1, a stratigraphic well drilled in the northeastern part of the Officer Basin in South Australia, intersected aeolian and fluvial sandstones and mudstones overlying 224 m of fine-grained, dolomitic, calcareous and argillaceous sediments...

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...

Although the yields of the two completed wells were adequate (380 and 180 k1/day from holes 1 and 2 respectively), groundwater salinities (5000 and 3200 mg/1) were unsuitable for the Park requirements. Further drilling is not recommended.

Core and cuttings from 7 stratigraphic wells in the Officer Basin were examined principally to develop a depositional model for sediments of pre-Permian age. Evidence from 6 of the wells suggests that an epeiric environment prevailed during ?Cambrian...

The widespread extent of silcretes in SA is demonstrated through stratigraphic relationships with palynologically dated sequences, and erosion of silcretes. The late Tertiary silcrete dominates the duricrusted landscape. Silica type varies according...

Six holes totalling 659 m were drilled at four locations on the Bookaloo - Mount Gunson section of the Stuart Highway. Supplies of construction quality groundwater were obtained at three of the locations. There is some evidence to suggest that the...

Oil shows in the Observatory Hill Beds in Byilkaoora 1 occur in a non-marine, alkaline playa lake sequence. Geochemical analysis suggests that they are immature and belong to 2 primary genetic families. The less altered oils are quite unlike...
