Report discusses via a series of maps the subsurface geology of the Cooper and Pedirka regions underlying the Great Artesian Basin in South Australia. A general tectonic and depositional environmental framework is delineated for each of 3 layers of geology: - Lower Palaeozoic (Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian?, Lower Devonian?); - Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous; - Upper Carboniferous, Permian and Lower Triassic. A general assessment of the petroleum exploration possibilities of these layers is also given.
