A trachyandesite from the Gawler Range Volcanics at Buckleboo and an alkali basalt from the main quarry at Mount Schank are suitable for Departmental geochemical standards. A sample from an outcrop of Heatherdale Shale at Carrickalinga Head is a limestone and is suitable as a standard limestone. Major, minor and trace elements determinations from Analabs and Classic Laboratories showed good correlation between laboratories and techniques of analysis for major elements but poor correlation for trace elements.
