RB 84/00079 Wardang Island - A refuge for Marginopora vertebralis.
As part of studies on Stratigraphy and chronology of coastal Quaternary sediments in SA, M. vertebralis was dated using radiocarbon 3 and amino acid racemization dating. Results suggest reef connecting Wardang and Goose Islands, rather than being...-

RB 87/00114 Amino acid racemisation dating of the Older Pleistocene marine beds, Redcliff, northern Spencer Gulf, South Australia.
The extent of racemization (epimerization) for a range of amino acids in specimens of the fossil bivalve Anadara trapezia suggest a Penultimate Interglacial age (oxygen isotope stage 7) of approximately 200,000 years B.P., consistent with the...-

RB 87/00115 Aminostratigraphy of the last interglacial in southern Australia.
The application of amino acid racemization reactions is explored for regional chronostratigraphic correlation of Last Interglacial marginal marine sediments. The extent of racemization evident for a range of amino acids in several molluscan species...-

RB 89/00086 Marginal marine aminostratigraphy of the last interglacial in southern Australia.
Amino acid racemization data provide the basis for a predictive model for relative dating of late Quaternary coastal sequences. The extent of racemization on Last Interglacial fossils represents a linear function of latitude in southern Australia....-

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...-

HandBk 009 - Quaternary Molluscs of South Australia. Ludbrook N.H. 1984 (reprinted version)
This work aims to thoroughly assist the student and collector in identifying the Quaternary molluscs preserved in SA rocks. Many of the molluscan fossils occurring in Late Pleistocene deposits are representatives of still living species, although...-

RB 73/00070 Fossiliferous marine and non-marine Cainozoic rocks from the eastern Eucla Basin, South Australia.
Outcrop and subsurface samples taken from various sources, that represent all the Cainozoic marine formations of the eastern Eucla Basin, have been studied. The current stratigraphic knowledge of these formations in SA is summarised. A marine...-
