Surface structural geology of selected areas in the Gambier - Robe - Naracoorte District, South Australia.
West of Mt Schank, Gambier Limestone is gently folded along - trending NW axis (probably conforming to faults). Fault traces approach NNW and WNW and produce low scarps, karst features and dolomitisation. Between Tantanoola and The Bluff, a...-

Preliminary geological survey of southern Gambier Sunklands.
Mapping was based on 3 divisions of Gambier Limestone (middle-upper boundary recognised in field by variations in chert content). Knight Group occurrences reported earlier (Env 0034) were found to overlie Gambier Limestone. Only known Knight Group...-
