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...-

Geochemistry of Cambrian well samples and one tar ball, Stansbury Basin, South Australia.
13 Early Cambrian drill core samples from three wells on Yorke Peninsula were analysed primarily to determine the presence or absence of dinosteranes in their preserved organic material. In addition, a beach strand tar ball from the southern coast of...-

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...-

Biomarker geochemistry of the Early Cambrian oil show in Wilkatana 1 - Implications for oil generation in the Stansbury Basin.
This report critically reassesses the biomarker geochemistry of the crude oil show encountered in the Wilkatana 1 well, using new analytical data, then compares its molecular composition with that of other Australian Cambrian oils, and discusses the...-

Stratigraphy, sedimentology and thermal history of the Early Cambrian Heatherdale Shale, Fleurieu Peninsula.
A detailed study of the stratigraphy, sedimentology and thermal history of the Heatherdale Shale, the youngest unit of the Early-Mid Cambrian Normanville Group (Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia), was undertaken to elucidate its petroleum source...-

RB 2002/00033 Correlation within Early Palaeozoic basins of eastern South Australia.
The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...-
