RB 83/00010 Petrology of three kaolin-rich rock specimens, Cultana area.
Three specimens of kaolin-rich rocks from the Cultana area were examined. One specimen is distinguished by cross-bedded, highly angular quartz and is probably Adelaidean in age. Identification of the other two specimens is uncertain.-
