Generalised contouring of the Mount Lofty Ranges aimed at reconstructing the Tertiary landsurface topography has identified the locations of a number of possible buried fluvial valleys and channels associated with the St Vincent Basin palaeodrainage,...

Plant macrofossils from silicified Cainozoic fluvial sediments on CURDIMURKA occur in 2 discrete suites. One suite has been found only in outcrops of silicified Eyre Formation in the Poole Creek Palaeochannel. This suite and the macroflora of the...

Shallow penetration, high resolution seismic profiling, with simultaneous sea floor coring found large areas of sea floor to be barren of unconsolidated Holocene sediment, or to be unsuitable for beach replenishment. Four prospects are identified...

Marine seismic profiling along 15 transects collected 388 km of high-resolution, shallow-penetration acoustic (boomer) profiles that provide an insight into the attitude and extent of Quaternary, Tertiary and Permian strata beneath the sea floor. This...

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...

Significant anthropogenic land subsidence within the Port Adelaide estuary of up to 0.7 metres is inferred from the Holocene stratigraphy and associated radiocarbon dates on materials that act as palaeo-sea level indicators. Principal contributing...

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...

NOAA-AVHRR images of the Officer Basin were used to enhance spectral signatures of interpreted palaeodrainage networks with potential economic significance in that region. A vast agglomeration of Tertiary palaeodrainage can be observed in the Officer...

The Groundwater (Border Agreement) Act of 1985 legislated to provide a framework for the joint management of groundwater resources within a 40 km wide strip along the length of the South Australian and Victorian Border, which is referred to as the...

There are no known major water resources in the northwest Gawler Craton area. The groundwater that is used for stock occurs in Tertiary sediments and weathered basement overlying the Gawler Craton. A Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) survey which was...

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 Greenhouse Effect is discussed in a global and local context. Records of past sea levels and factors affecting the relative level of land and sea are considered. A network of tide gauges connected to a network of planned and founded levelling...

Three shallow fully cored stratigraphic holes were drilled in 1985 by the SADME Regional Geology Branch to gather subsurface information for inclusion on the CURDIMURKA 1:250000 geological map describing stratigraphy on the southern margin of the...

Samples of calcareous concretions, mudstone, siltstone and sandstone were assigned an Aptian age.

The sample was assigned an Early Miocene age and is the youngest surface exposure of Port Willunga Formation.

There is no abstract created for this record

The Warburton Basin consists probably of Cambrian to Ordovician deposits. This study collected 89 samples from 21 wells and introduces three acritarch assemblages of Middle Cambrian to Early Ordovician age. The acritarch assemblage from the Middle...

19 samples of exploratory RC aircore drillhole cuttings were examined by a SADME consultant to determine their microfloral assemblages, and to date the host sediments by correlation of diagnostic palynomorphs with published biostratigraphic schemes.

A promotional brochure for vacant offshore Otway Basin petroleum exploration acreage, designed for release overseas to potential corporate bidders, prior to gazettal of the area for permit applications in November 1992. Area S92-1 covering 4736 square...

The Munyarai Trough is approximately 100 kilometres wide and 200 kilometres long, and contains Proterozoic to Carboniferous age sediments. A study to determine the extent of the Devonian sedimentary succession was performed, using as a starting point...
