This study draws together diverse aspects of South Australia’s heavy minerals (HM) resources geoscience to provide an overall context for evaluating their occurrence, economic significance and origins. Two main objectives are addressed by the subject...

This work aims to thoroughly assist the student and collector in identifying the Quaternary molluscs preserved in SA rocks. Many of the molluscan fossils occurring in Late Pleistocene deposits are representatives of still living species, although...

A request to investigate an area of fresh groundwater in County Robinson was received from the Engineer-in-Chief, Engineering and Water Supply Department, in February 1967. An inspection was made in August 1967, and Progress Report No. 1 was issued....

The Streaky Bay and Nuyts 1:250 000 map areas are located on the western side of Eyre Peninsula. Precambrian greenschist and amphibolite facies metamorphics of the Gawler Platform are intruded by Lower Proterozoic or Carpentarian granites, gneisses...

The purpose of this report is to assess the potential groundwater resources of the area using existing data in the Mines Department records. A previous assessment (HICKS), using a different approach, produced a quantity for groundwater safe yield...

Investigations have been carried out in the first test area of the South East Water Resources Investigation. Drilling by Rotary and Cable Tool methods up to 555 feet deep has shown a near horizontal sequence of bedded limestones. The cable tool method...

This paper sets out the stratigraphy of late Cainozoic deposits in the southern part of South Australia. The study includes the Murray, St Vincent and Spencer Gulf, West Coast and Eucla Basins and the adjoining uplands. Work has been concentrated on...

Lake Macdonnell bore A.A.10W (total depth 150 feet) intersected a Quaternary sequence consisting of a thin salt crust and lime sand (Recent, marine), Yamba Formation (Recent to Pleistocene, gypsiferous, lagoonal), Bridge-water Formation, upper member...

This report summarizes the outcropping rock types and structure present on the Vennachar and Borda 1:50,000 mapsheet areas on the western end of Kangaroo Island. The sheets cover most of Flinders Chase, which is a flora and fauna reserve. The oldest...

In 1969, a program of hydrogeological investigation was carried out in Test Area 1 as part of the South East Water Resources Investigation. The results were described in a report by Harris (1969). Since that time there has been:- (a) a monitoring...

The most significant feature of the area, covered by the Naracoorte 1:250 000 sheet is the Padthaway Ridge which underlies all but the southernmost part of the area, where Mesozoic sediments, of the Otway Basin lap onto the ridge (Padthaway...

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...

The 1973 Robe Field Conference of the Specialist Group in Sedimentology comprised informal lectures on carbonate deposition and the role of algae in carbonate precipitation in volcanic lakes of western Victoria, supratidal dolomites of Queensland,...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and economic geology of an area on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin and the western margin of the Gawler Block. The area is centred upon the FOWLER 1:250 000 map area. The stratigraphic section of the...

The eastern boundary of the Bridgewater Formation (Pleistocene aeolianite limestone) was identified from Streaky Bay through to the southernmost region of Eyre Peninsula. Younger calcrete and Molineaux sand were also mapped. The boundary has been...

In response to a request by Mr. A.E. Lush, a groundwater survey was made of section 82 of the Hundred of Laffer. The property is located approximately 10 miles southwest of Keith. A water supply of approximately 50 000 g.p.h. is required for the...

Photogeological interpretation of the islands of the continental shelf of the western coastline of South Australia indicates that all islands are crystalline basement. The larger islands have a thin cover of calcareous aeolianite and more recent...
