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...

Boring has intersected basal Tertiary North Maslin Sands under Tortachilla Limestone. The age of the underlying clays is tentatively regarded as Permian. An estimated 60 000 cubic yards of overburden covers 220 000 cubic yards of sand within the...

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....

45 Auger samples were examined from 8 bores at Hackham, 18 miles south of Adelaide, in the Noarlunga Basin. An upper Reserve sequence of South Maslin Sands - Tortachilla Limestone - Blanche Point Marls is recognised on the basis of distinct...

Carbonaceous sediments from tin leads in north-eastern Tasmania have yielded well-preserved and diverse pollen and spore assemblages from the deepest of three stratigraphic units sampled. On the basis of the microfloral assemblages, two...

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 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...

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...

Near horizontally bedded Upper Eocene sediments comprising Blanche Point Marls, Tortachilla Limestone and South Maslin Sands, have been test bored at Hackham in the Noarlunga Basin, in the search for a bentonite - type clay deposit which might provide...

Mapping of the Coober Pedy Opalfield has shown that opal occurrence, although erratic, is not entirely unpredictable. Several groups of workings are present in an area of about 150 square miles. The host rock is a distinctive pink and white...

Specimens of twenty-nine species of Tertiary molluscs held in the Tate Collection of the Geology Department, University of Adelaide, have been redescribed. All but five of the species have restricted time ranges, there being a significant difference...

Stuart Range No.3 bore, which was deepened by rotary drilling during January-March 1965 in a search for additional underground water supplies for the Coober Pedy Opalfield, and which was completed as a stratigraphic bore (with some bottomhole rotary...

Stratigraphic data are provided for: Waikerie Pumping Station - cliff section, Waikerie Bore No. 1, Waikerie Bore No. 1A, Ramco Heights Bore No. 1, Sunlands Pumping Station - cliff section, Sunlands Bore No. 2 and Tolleys Rising Main section (all in...

Spore and pollen evidence is presented to biostratigraphically date several samples supplied from north-eastern Tasmania, Cape Barren Island and Flinders Island. The samples from Cape Barren Island and mainland Tasmania are equivalent, and are of...

Bore 1 located on the premises of Coca Cola Bottlers Ltd at Walsh Street, Thebarton, near Port Road, was drilled to a total depth of 452 feet at a site about 600 yards west of the Para Fault. It penetrated a stratigraphic succession comprising in part...

Gas was reported effervescing from a water bore of 256 feet depth near Ki Ki, South Australia. The water was sampled on May 11, 1965, but hydrocarbons were detected in the gas above the water in the sample bottle. There was a petroliferous smell from...
