Cores taken from Barker Inlet and previous subsurface information, are used to interpret the shallow subsurface stratigraphy. Significant Holocene accumulation has taken place at Outer Harbour, Torrens Island, and the Saint Kilda intertidal flats....

Recent excavations at Mangalo (Fig. 1), in connection with extensions to a silo complex, have revealed unusual foundation conditions that were not anticipated in the original site investigation. The geological section, exposed in the main foundation...

Resistivity investigations were carried out on Wardang Island in an attempt to determine drilling sites favourable for fresh underground water. The thickness of the Bridgewater Formation (aeolianite) and basement elevations were mapped and contoured....

Ancient features in crystalline basement and resurgent tectonic structures post-dating the Delamerian Orogeny controlled the pattern of Upper Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cainozoic sedimentation in the Great Australian Basin. This study describes the...

TARGET: Possible heavy mineral sands emplaced within Tertiary sediments in the Wirulla, Poochera, Inkster and Streaky Bay areas. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance 10-15 km spaced and infill 100 m spaced reverse circulation drilling to pre-Tertiary basement...

All previous data and all the known major deposits within the Clinton Coal Measures are reviewed. The study covers their formation, structure, stratigraphy and various engineering geology aspects associated with the possibility of mining any one of...

TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sand accumulations in Pliocene raised beach strandlines developed along the south-western margin of the Murray Basin. EXPLORATION: Aerial photo interpretation, regional sedimentological studies, preliminary...

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...

The Dublin 1:63 360 map area is located on the ADELAIDE 1:250 000 map area, and is centred about 40 miles north-west of Adelaide. Within this area, possible Adelaide System rocks are unconformably overlain by Tertiary marine limestones, sands, silts...

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...

Calcrete, pisolitic ferricrete and deeply weathered metamorphic rocks from shallow roadside pits have been used for making unsealed roads in the Tumby Bay district. New sources of materials were sought on the basis of regional stratigraphy and...

Reconnaissance mapping in the Kadina District Council area has indicated possible sites for quarrying Ripon calcrete for use in construction and maintenance of unsealed roads. Sub-surface testing by trenching will be necessary to prove the quality and...

Reconnaissance mapping in the Wallaroo Town Council area has indicated several possible sites for quarrying Ripon calcrete for use in the construction and maintenance of unsealed roads. These sites are limited and the council may have to consider...

In an area located east-southeast of Streaky Bay township, the target mineral commodities were uranium, base metals, gold, tin, tungsten, tantalum and lignite; kaolinite was recognised as a secondary target later during the exploration programme. 25...

Exploration for possible ancient beach strandline heavy mineral sand placer deposits formed within the Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation has been undertaken in the State's South-East region. This pioneering on-ground work came about after several...

Calcrete samples taken from various likely residential and industrial sites in South Australia were examined to determine features applicable to stratigraphic classification and to engineering geology requirements for construction planning.

Three, or possibly four, raised beach ridge deposits were located along the coastline of the western Eyre Peninsula region during a reconnaissance survey of potential fossil strandline and foredune trapsites looking for economic heavy mineral sand...
