RB 60/00022 Palynological observations on Eocene sediments from two bores in the northern Adelaide Plains.
Microfloras from Eocene marine and non-marine sediments, intersected in two deep bores in the Adelaide Plains Basin, can be placed within two distinct assemblage units. The correlative value of these as time-stratigraphic units is discussed.-

RB 60/00103 Phosphate reconnaissance sampling, Willunga and Noarlunga sub-basins.
Reconnaissance sampling of coastal and inland exposures of the Tertiary succession in the Willunga and Noarlunga sub-basins of the Saint Vincent Basin indicates that the P205 content of the sediments is below the average of normal marine carbonates. A...-

RB 94/00009 Soils, stratigraphy and engineering geology of near surface materials of the Adelaide Plains.
Metropolitan Adelaide is founded on a wide variety of soils that overlie sediments and rocks. Some of the soils and sediments react to seasonal and human-induced changes in water content with marked changes in volume. The black earths and...-
