New geological features disclosed by excavations for the foundations of the left abutment are described. These are more abundant limestone, a minor fault, more extensive jointing and a solution cavity at the intersection of a joint and a minor fault....

A bottomhole drill cuttings sample obtained from a newly drilled water bore at Seacliff has been examined for the purpose of biostratigraphic correlation of the limestone aquifer sediments. It was determined from foraminiferal species assemblage...

The distinctive large, benthonic, shallow marine foraminifer Lepidocyclina howchini has been identified, with an associated benthonic microfauna, in limestone in a borrow pit located in the Bremer Valley 3 km east of Kanmantoo. The limestone is a...

Sediment was originally fine quartz sandstone with a little feldspar.

The Worumba Anticline is a regional fold in the gradational zone between the Olary Arc and the broader folding of the central Flinders Ranges. The limbs of the anticline comprise complete upper Adelaidean successions, of which the Holowilena...

The Electricity Trust of South Australia requires a source of high grade limestone or dolomite to be used in the planned industrial firing process for brown coal from the Wakefield coal deposit. A SADME survey of available literature, supplemented by...

Analyses of key benthonic and planktonic foraminifera from this thin transgressive deposit, and of boundary criteria, indicate a date close to the Janjukian / Longfordian Australian Stage boundary, and close to the international Oligocene / Miocene...

A proposed new group of 2000-tonne silos to be constructed alongside a railway line near Millicent will have their footings in limestone. 146 gravity stations on a 5 m grid have delineated a 10 m wide strip of possibly cavernous rock at depths of less...

2 water production wells were completed.

Within the Angas - Bremer Irrigation Area, the source of the groundwater being taken currently primarily for the large-scale irrigation of lucerne fodder crops is the confined low salinity Tertiary limestone aquifer. The extent of pumping from bores...

A well survey was carried out in the Naracoorte Township and immediate environs in May and June 1976. 128 wells were located in the surveyed area, two thirds of these being in use, and of these, 11 were for drainage disposal. The remaining one third...

A program of testing of physical properties of South Australian building stones has been carried out on 30 samples representing: - Seven granite samples from four localities - One marble sample - Thirteen slate and flagstone samples from nine...

Eighty-eight limestone samples from twenty profiles approximately 50 km east of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia are examined and named according to Dunhams 1962 classification of carbonate rocks. Ten main fossil groups are identified, namely: echinoderm...

The groundwater resources of the Tertiary sand aquifer in the County Musgrave Proclaimed Wells Area (PWA) have been reviewed in order to assess the potential for their use to augment groundwater currently extracted from the unconfined Quaternary...

Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is being developed as a solution to provide an emergency town water supply in a location where blue- green algae make River Murray water unfit for domestic use during summer. Algae-free river water will be injected...
