In the past 25 years, late Palaeozoic sediments in South Australia have generally been assigned entirely to the Permian. Recent investigations especially by Balme (1980) suggest that a significant part of this succession, including most of the glacial sediments, is probably Carboniferous. Until an accurate position for the Carboniferous/Permian boundary is determined, it is recommended that geologists refer these strata simply to the Permo-Carboniferous. Precise correlation of the Late Palaeozoic succession in South Australia with an international stage scheme is virtually impossible at present. The local stages of Clarke and Farmer (1976) offer the best means of chronostratigraphic subdivision of South Australian Late Palaeozoic strata.
