Four horizons were mapped (top of basement, top of Permian, top of Cretaceous and Sea Floor). The Denman Basin is a 50 km wide, north-south trending depression in Early Palaeozoic - Precambrian bedrock, infilled with up to 400 metres of Permian...

The molluscan faunas of the Upper Eocene Wilson Bluff Limestone and Miocene Abrakurrie and Nullarbor Limestones are identified and figured. The brachiopods of the Wilson Bluff and Abrakurrie Limestones are identified.

Outcrop and subsurface samples taken from various sources, that represent all the Cainozoic marine formations of the eastern Eucla Basin, have been studied. The current stratigraphic knowledge of these formations in SA is summarised. A marine...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 200 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and 28 km...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 130 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and south of...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary cored holes totalling 189 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast just west of...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...
