This report contains information used by the staff at the Geological Survey at various times as a basis for advice to authorise responsible for construction of the new Government Offices at Victoria Square. It is not therefore an integrated report. A...

The sedimentary environment of Cambrian and Marinoan shelf sediments in South Australia is outlined. Tables are presented showing the distribution of Cu and Pb in the various facies of these sediments. Low grade copper mineralisation in some Marinoan...

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...

Geological sections drawn across the CHOWILLA 4-mile mapsheet area have been prepared from drillers' lithologs of 36 bores. The existence of a number of distinctive marker horizons and paleontological age determinations enable a provisional...

Microfloras from Eocene marine and non-marine sediments, intersected in two deep bores in the Adelaide Plains Basin, can be placed within two distinct assemblage units. The correlative value of these as time-stratigraphic units is discussed.

A quarry site located near Lowbank on the River Murray, 7 miles east of Waikerie, has been geologically mapped and partly explored by drilling 14 vertical diamond holes with a total depth penetration of 702 feet. Marine sandy limestone and calcareous...

A foundation test bore 200 feet deep, drilled at the site of a new Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP) building to be constructed on the south-western corner of North Terrace and King William Street, has intersected a Cainozoic sedimentary...

Whilst overseas during the period April to July, 1964, the writer visited, in addition to phosphate deposits, most of the major potash mines and a number of evaporated-salt, rock salt, brine and sulphur operations in North America, Europe and Israel,...

31 samples taken during a soil survey of northern Yorke Peninsula were examined for the CSIRO to obtain information on depositional environment and age. Twelve of them contained marine foraminifers or molluscan fragments, most of which were probably...

Three relatively deep bores, drilled recently on the northern Adelaide Plains in the Hundred of Port Gawler, about 20 miles north of Adelaide, have intersected useful complementary sections of the Cainozoic succession, ranging from 560 feet to 1148...

Rocks in the Flinders and Hutchinson groups are exposed sporadically around the coast of Eyre Peninsula. Reported occurrences of molybdenite and scheelite in these rock types were investigated. No significant rare metal minerals were found in the...

Mount Toondina lies near to the centre of the Arckaringa Basin, herein redefined somewhat provisionally, on seismic evidence, as a significantly thicker development of Upper Palaeozoic sediments. The Mount Toondina Beds are herein formally described....

During the Neoproterozoic Willouran Epoch, a thickness of approximately 20,000 feet of Callanna Beds were deposited under shallow water conditions in the western zone of the Adelaide Geosyncline. Diapirs were produced by the lower Callanna sequences....

In the Sir Joseph Banks Group of southern Spencer Gulf offshore islands, outcropping Archaean arenaceous, arkosic and calcareous sedimentary rocks appear to have been folded and granitised prior to the deposition of the Adelaidean System sedimentary...

Reconnaissance sampling of coastal and inland exposures of the Tertiary succession in the Willunga and Noarlunga sub-basins of the Saint Vincent Basin indicates that the P205 content of the sediments is below the average of normal marine carbonates. A...
