Nilpena deposits comprise no. 1 and 2 lodes and Jim Crowe lode on the western flank of the Flinders Ranges. The no. 1 and 2 lodes cross cut Brachina Formation on the western limb of the Nuccaleena Dome, whereas Jim Crowe lode has been emplaced along...

Geological interpretation from drilling and seismic information, on an Early Palaeozoic sedimentary basin containing Early Cambrian to possibly Devonian age rocks. Middle to latest Late Cambrian sediments (Kalladeina Formation) and probable Cambrian...

The Benagerie Ridge is a basement high which has been actively shedding detritus since Adelaidean times. It includes porphyry, with thin cover of Adelaidean rocks, flanked by Cambrian and possible Adelaidean sediments. The Cainozoic blankets the...

The geological evolution is summarised and characteristic landscapes of the past are described according to the palaeosols developed on them. Their evolution is set down in relation to the evolution of man and the material of use to early man.

World references published since 1970 relating to geological models, analytical data and latest uses were compiled.

Nuclear weapons tests and related minor trials conducted in Australia by the British Government between 1952 and 1963, are summarised. The possible effects on test personnel and civilians which could be caused by radiation and fallout, the situation...

A system of parallel arcuate ridges dominates the topography of the Billa Kalina area; facies relationships indicate that they are silicified strandlines of a Miocene lake which have been etched out by later erosion. Clays and dolomites of the Miocene...

Major deposits of palygorskite group minerals were formed in 3 different environments :(1) as chemical sediments, or early diagenetic transformations of certain smectite group clays, in epicontinental and inland seas and lakes; (2) by diagenesis of...

A shallow test hole was drilled near Cape Northumberland to check the feasibility of tunnelling through the Gambier Limestone beneath the sea bed. The drilling showed widespread flint throughout the limestone, and comparison with nearby outcrop...

In the North West Province of South Australia the areas controlled by the aboriginals are the North West Aboriginal Reserve, three pastoral leases and the small reserve at Indulkana. The aboriginals now decide who has access to these areas. Because...

In a recent paper Williams and Goode (1978) proposed that the ancestral Murray River in South Australia debouched into Spencer Gulf in the region of the mouth of the River Broughton, just south of Port Pirie, during the Eocene and/or late Middle to...

Palaeoclimate is discussed, particularly in the central and southern parts of the continent, based on an overview of wide range of data. The oceanic record has provided the means for obtaining a refined chronological framework in which to place events...
