RB 86/00024 Sediment organism zonation and the evolution of Holocene tidal sequences in southern Australia.
Regressive intertidal sequences, with well developed zonation of flora and fauna, occur extensively around the margins of the 2 major SA gulfs and within small embayments along the exposed coastline of Eyre Peninsula. This paper summarises and...-

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...-
