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...

To a total depth of 3610 feet Fortville No. 3 well intersected 62 feet of recent sand, 368 feet of Tertiary sand, silt and clay, 887 feet of Canomanian (Winton Series, Blanchewater Formation in part at least) sandstones, siltstones and dolomite; 1243...

One hundred and six samples collected mainly from spoil heaps of bores were examined. Their ages range from Proterozoic to Recent. A section through deep bores in the Frome Embayment is appended.

Bundy No. 1 well near the eastern margin of the Murray Basin intersected a sequence 1340 feet thick of non marine lignitic sands and silts of Tertiary age. The oldest are Eocene and the youngest probably Pliocene. The well bottomed in granite at 1340...

Three potential damsites on the lower Murray River near Mannum were investigated by drilling and geological mapping. Two holes at Site 4 and one at Site 5 showed Tertiary sediments overlying granite bedrock at depth exceeding 24m. Exploration was...

Three bores drilled for the Melton Pastoral Company in the Eucla Basin intersected a sequence of Miocene limestones before bottoming in probable Tertiary micaceous sands. A fourth bore, No. 23, intersected both Miocene (Nullarbor Limestone) and Eocene...

Marine and non-marine sediments of Paleocene to Pliocene age are represented in South Australia, although parts of the sequence are known only from subsurface sections. The Tertiary sequence is most complete in the Murray Basin, where Hantkenina...

Twelve holes have been drilled on a close pattern to test foundation conditions at a bulk wheat silo site at Port Adelaide. The investigation was carried out for SA Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd. An upper and lower sequence have been defined and...

Six bores on the eastern bank of the River Murray at the Teal Flat Damsite in the Hundred of Younghusband intersected post Miocene sediments before bottoming in weathered Kanmantoo bedrock. A seventh bore intersected typical Mannum Formation limestone...

Eight bores drilled in the Eucla Basin for the Melton Pastoral Company have been examined. The most easterly bore, number 34, intersected the most complete marine sequence encountered in the area, passing through Miocene (Nullarbor Limestone) and...

At the request of the South Australian Department of Mines a survey of current Australian usage of mineral fillers and pigments was made. The survey was intended to determine the consumptions and specifications typical of various industries and to...

Five species of leaf and stem fragments are described from the Mudla 1-mile sheet, South West of Coward Springs. Comparison with assemblages from the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia and Queensland suggests an Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous...

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...

The foraminiferal faunas of the Upper Eocene and Lower Miocene Limestones of Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean are described. Except for the fringing reefs, no rocks younger than Burdigalian were identified.
