The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the Adelaidean sedimentary history is described, although an outline of the Phanerozoic tectonic history of the region aids interpretation of Proterozoic tectonics. This bulletin provides a synthesis and interpretation of the geology as a stimulus for developing new models for exploration. It also includes a 1:60 000 scale geological map covering the Adelaide Geosyncline and Stuart Shelf. The late Proterozoic palaeogeographic evolution is traced through 45 time slices illustrated by block-diagrams.
