RB 97/00027 Further palynological dating and correlation of Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments from Eyre Peninsula, SA.
Two groups of samples from Eyre Peninsula have been analysed. The Elliston samples are correlative with the Polda Formation, probably in the latest Middle Jurassic. The younger Middle Eocene E04-1 sample indicates the presence of Pidinga Formation,...-
