Petroleum geochemistry of the Otway Basin, and the significance of coastal bitumen strandings on adjacent southern Australian beaches. Volumes 1 to 5 source rock studies.
The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...-

Preliminary report on the biomarker geochemistry of rock extracts from Chama 1A and Geltwood Beach 1: comparison with some Otway oils and coastal bitumens.
Organic geochemical analyses were carried out on 6 rock sample pyrolysis extracts from Chama 1A and 7 from Geltwood Beach 1 to determine whether the Crayfish and/or Eumeralla formations in these wells could be a source for the asphaltites and bitumens...-
