Samples from surface to depth 10 feet at Peesey's Swamp were examined in connection with a brine investigation and to compare the faunas with those of Eocene paralic sediments containing foraminifera. Two district communities are represented of...

Samples collected in the Mount Gambier, Mount Burr and Naracoorte areas include material from Knight Group sediments at their only South Australian exposure in Knight's Quarry where they are discordantly overlain by a basal conglomerate and the...

Some material from oil bores in the possession mainly of the Bureau of Mineral Resources was cursorily examined to relate the bore sequences to the reference column established for the Murray Basin. The bores were Enterprise Oil Co. No. 2 (Salt Creek...

Outcropping sediments in the area covered by the Milang Military Sheet include Permian cross-bedded fluvioglacial sands and silts, mid-tertiary calcareous sandstones and limestones transgressive on Kanmantoo rocks in the Strathalbyn area, and Lower...
