The age of the Otway Basin's Casterton Formation has long been a contentious issue due to a wide range of isotopic dates (Mitchell et al., 1997) and the absence of decisive key palynological tax.a (Partridge, 1994 [unpub.] cited in Mitchell et al....

The Neoproterozoic is characterised by global environmental change and the diversification of many groups in the fossil record including animals and photosynthesising microflora. The cause-effect relationships between environmental and biotic changes...

66 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

53 sidewall cores were processed and examined.

Drilling of two percussion holes (aggregate 400 metres) near Yerila, south of Lake Blanche, failed to give encouragement to the search for possible Permian coal and Tertiary uranium in the southern Eromanga Basin / Lake Blanche Lineament uplift area...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium associated with high order radiometric anomalies over lakes on the edge of the sand dune country, east of the Nullarbor Plain. EXPLORATION: Closely spaced (300-500 m), low level (65 m altitude) aerial scintillometer...

The south-eastern Lake Frome Embayment in the vicinity of Quinyambie Station was explored for Upper and Lower Tertiary 'blanket' or 'roll front' type sedimentary uranium, via the drilling of 75 open vertical rotary mud holes with a total penetration...

The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...

Lake Torrens, a normally - dry salina whose surface is 112 feet above sea level, has been the site of accummulation of some l,000 feet of continental lacustrine sediments since Eocene times. Sublake sediments encountered in boring comprise in...

Comparative and qualitative palynology of several distinct Upper Eocene lithological units in the vicinity of Adelaide indicates a similar age for the sediments. A complex facies relationship between these units is apparent in marginal areas....

Palynological examination of samples from Lake Torrens Bore 3A indicates a high degree of organic oxidation much that pollens and spores are only preserved below about 600 feet. Microfloral assemblages obtained below this depth indicate an Eocene age...

The stratigraphy of the Comaum 2 bore was revised and corrected. Tertiary sediments extend to 146m, and at this depth are dated as Paleocene on microfloral comparisons with south-western Victoria. Most of the Eocene section of the Knight Group (now...

Four genera, Latrobosporites, Dilwynites, Simplicepollis and Malyacipallis, and thirty one species of dispersed spores and pollen from basal Tertiary sediments of southern Australia are described as new. The use of several species as index forms in...

Upper Eocene microfloral assemblages from the Blanche Point Marls of the Adelaide Plains Basin in the vicinity of Victoria Square, Adelaide, have been used to show that the sequence obtained from recent drilling is entirely of marine or restricted...

Palynological examination of six Tertiary samples from four boreholes in the City of Brisbane area, Queensland, has revealed hitharto undescribed assemblages of microplankton, pollens and spores. One sample yielded abundant Defiandres ap. indet....
