Source rock maturity study, Arrowie Basin, South Australia - Parts I and II.
A small suite of Cambrian rock samples was selected to evaluate the use of the methylphenanthrene index (MPI) and other aromatic hydrocarbon ratios as measures of thermal maturity in Early Palaeozoic sequences. Such very old rocks do not contain woody...-

Early origin of dolomite in Early Cambrian carbonates on Yorke Peninsula, western margin of Stansbury Basin, South Australia.
This study has shown that significant dolomite formation has occurred during early diagenetic stages in the Early Cambrian carbonate sequence of Yorke Peninsula. Relict depositional textures indicate that the sequence consists of tidal flat...-
