Following the allocation in 1992 of Aust $2 million to MESA for petroleum exploration as part of the SA Exploration Initiative, the Department undertook to conduct reconnaisance seismic surveys over selected, poorly known sedimentary basins. As part...

Compilation and re-interpretation of open file data from the Eucla Basin - southern Officer Basin region preceded exploratory and stratigraphic percussion drilling undertaken in an area north of the Trans Australian Railway (6 holes, total 1032 m)....

Burial history analysis of the structurally complex eastern Officer Basin region was performed using data from petroleum, trona exploration and stratigraphic wells, seismic upholes, coal drillholes and selected seismic sections, to construct isopachs...

A description of the overall structure and stratigraphy of the Basin and identification of areas for potential coal development, based on all open file information.

145 core samples (representing organic-rich Upper Proterozoic and Cambrian intervals in 11 wells) taken from the SADME and BMR Core Libraries were examined for palynomaceral identification and to judge levels of organic (source rock) maturity, using...

The South Australian Department of Mines drilled seven stratigraphic wells between 1969 and 1971 in the Arckaringa Basin. This study presents the stratigraphic information obtained and attempts to collate all available information in a syntheses of...

Maralinga is located on the crest of the Ooldea Range, an ancient (Tertiary) coastal dune which is bounded to the south by the Nullarbor Plain and to the north by Tietkens Plain. The dune field of the Great Victoria Desert covers much of the region...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...

The Eastern Officer Basin in South Australia consists of a deep, east-west trending trough that flanks the southern margin of the Musgrave Block. From its northern margin south, to its axis the basin deepens with a very steep gradient, then shallows...

Preliminary maps were compiled by photointerpretation with limited geological ground control. Some topographic features and photo - lineaments are considered structurally significant and may reflect faults with NE - ENE and NW orientations. The...

Preliminary map was prepared from mapping and shot hole logging. Precambrian crystalline basement is overlain by Permian, Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments. Younger exposed units include gypsiferous clays, sandstone and calcrete.

The SA Department of Mines drilled seven stratigraphic wells between 1969 and 1971 in the Arckaringa Basin. This study presents the stratigraphic information obtained and attempts to collate all available information in a synthesis of the Arckaringa...

Pronounced positive and negative geophysical anomalies on EVERARD represent the crystalline Musgrave Block in the north, a basement trough more than 4 km in depth that flanks the Musgrave Block to the south, and the crystalline Ammaroodinna Inlier to...

A short programme of seismic exploration was undertaken in the southwest Arckaringa Basin in mid 1974. Shooting was confined mostly to an east-west line over the southwest end of the Tallaringa Trough. An interpretation of the geology of the trough...

This note records the first discovery of a fossil organism within an outcrop of the Observatory Hill Beds in the eastern Officer Basin. The recognition of fossiliferous strata within this succession is important as no biostratigraphic control is...
