In the stratigraphic sequence penetrated by Canopus Bore No. 1, five formations are present. From the surface to a depth of 185 feet, the boring passed through Recent surface sand and kunkar followed by medium to coarse sands of Plio-Pleistocene age....

Samples from sands, clays and limestones on the southern eastern corner of Lake Eyre were found to contain remains of fresh or brackish water microscopic plants and animals which inhabit inland and coastal lagoons, together with species of brackish...

Material collected during a reconnaissance survey of the coastal portion of the Eucla Basin by Frome Broken Hill Company Limited belonged to 6 distinct formations: surface kunkar; Pleistocene to Recent acolianites; Pleistocene marine sandy limestones;...

At the request of the Senior Geologist (Hydrology) rotary drill core from Bore No. 1 and sludges from Bores 2 and 3 were examined for microfaunas with a view to establishing the age of the sediments, to determining the sedimentary environment, and to...

The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited is interested in deposits of hard limestone or marble with low phosphorous content close to or within Spencers Gulf. It is presumed that the hard limestone is required for use as a flux. The Point Turton...

Excavation for the pumping station at Mannum exposed a mid-Tertiary sequence of calcareous sandstones and clays with an abrupt change in sedimentation within the sequence. Three marine formations are recognized: the Mannum Formation, the Finniss Clays...

Remnants of transgressive mid-Tertiary limestones occur at 413 feet above sea level (513 above datum level Port Adelaide, relative to bench mark 20/A, Truro R.S.) in and to the north of Levi's Creek, Section 229E, Hundred of Anna, and on Section 26,...

Five stratigraphic bores at Chowilla Dam Site intersected Post-Tertiary river sands and silts, equivalents of the Loxton Sands grading downwards into highly glauconitic siltstone of the Bookpurnong Beds and, in two bores, Shelly glauconitic marls,...

Two unsuccessful bores on the property of K.L. Blythman, Hundred of Willunga Section 596, and, one successful bore for L.L. Moritz, Hundred of Willunga, Section 8 were examined. Water was obtained in Moritz. Bore in the North Maslin Sands about 120...

A water bore on Section 500, Hundred of Murra Binna intersected a sequence of Recent, Pleistocene, Oligocene (Gambier Limestone and Compton Conglomerate) Eocene (Knight Group) and probably Permian sediments to a depth of 320 feet. Two other bores in...

The site of a proposed silo at Waikerie was investigated by means of one cable tool hole 17m deep. The hole encountered Woorinen Formation dune sand and clayey sand of the Blanchetown Clay overlying calcareous sand or sandy limestone of the Norwest...

38 rock specimens from outcrops in the Tibooburra area were examined palaeontologically for clients Fitzpatrick, Wilson and Company. A Neocomian to probably Cenomanian age is represented.

Thirty eight samples collected during a soil survey of the Hundreds of Noarlunga and Willunga belong to Tertiary formations ranging in age from Eocene to Pliocene and to Quaternary clays, sands and gritty sand. A bore on private property on Section...
