The nature and origin of beach ridges, western Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
Two sets of beach ridges are known from the western side of Cape York Peninsula. The older set are thought to be late Pleistocene. They rest on a basement of older fan deposits... -
Gravimetry in Australia, 1819-1976
The earliest known gravity measurements in Australia were made by French expeditions in 1819 and 1824, using pendulums at Sydney. Later in the 19th century, further pendulum... -
Late Cambrian trilobites from the Mariner Group, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica
This paper describes the youngest Late Cambrian trilobite assemblage so far discovered in the Mariner Group (Bowers Supergroup) northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. It occurs... -
Pattern of slow seafloor spreading (<4 mm/year) from breakup (96 Ma) to A20...
Australia separated from Antarctica by continental extension between the mid-Jurassic (>160 Ma) and mid-Cretaceous (96 Ma), then by slow seafloor spreading (half-rate <... -
Mesozoic Bivalvia from Clerke and Mermaid Canyons, northwest Australian...
Four sets of rock samples from two sites off the northwest Australian shelf in 3625-4480 m of water contain macrofaunas, mainly bivalves, of warm shallow-water origin. Mermaid... -
Biostratigraphy of Rig Seismic samples from Vening Meinesz seamounts,...
Samples from eight dredge hauls collected during BMR cruise 107 from several seamounts in the Vening Meinesz chain, south of Christmas Island, yielded calcareous nannofossils,... -
A reconnaissance investigation of the major Palaeozoic aquifers in the...
The Canning Basin is a large sedimentary basin with an onshore area of 430 000 km2. It has a thick, discontinuous succession of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic marine and continental... -
Geological note: Igneous and sedimentary rocks dredged from the northern...
Altered basalt, dolerite and gabbro have been dredged from a previously unsampled portion of the Macquarie Ridge (47o-48° S), using the commercial fishing vessel Amaltal... -
Manganese nodules from the Tasman Sea off Sydney
Two manganese nodules were recently recovered by HMAS Kimbla from a water depth of 4300 m, in a northeast-trending trough about 250 nautical miles southeast of Sydney (155°... -
Geology and mineral deposits of The Granites-Tanami and Tennant Creek...
The Palaeoproterozoic Tennant Creek Inlier (TCI) and The Granites-Tanami Inlier (GTI) share similarities in their stratigraphy and tectonic evolution. Both are characterised by... -
The Cretaceous of the Eromanga and Surat Basins
Little deformed Cretaceous sedimentary rocks underlie 1 500 000 km^2 of eastern Australia. Depositional environments in them range from freshwater to shallow marine. The... -
Regional variations in Australian heat flow
Twenty new heat-flow values from widely separated sites on the Australian continent are presented. These are combined with published land and marine data in the area 90-170°E,... -
The geochemistry of Lake Frome, a playa lake in South Australia
Lake Frome, a large playa in southeast South Australia, lies at the centre of an internal drainage basin. Sediments and brines in the lake were studied to determine if the... -
Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks dredged from the northern Exmouth...
The deeply incised northern margin of the Exmouth Plateau has been dredged extensively along seismic reflection profiles, in water 2000- 5600 m deep, by R. V. Sonne (Cruise... -
Suspended-sediment transport and water movement at One Tree Reef, southern...
One Tree Reef, in the southern Great Barrier Reef, is roughly triangular, with the southeast corner forming the windward margin, and the northwest side the leeward margin. In... -
Stresses in the Australian crust: evidence from earthquakes and in-situ...
Evidence from earthquake focal mechanisms, in situ stress measurements, and surface deformations indicate that the Australian continent is in a state of substantial horizontal... -
Geoscientific investigations from the Scott Plateau off northwest Australia...
In 1977 the R.V. Valdivia carried out a survey between Scott Plateau and the Java Trench, during which 1700 km of 24-channel seismic data, and 2550 km of bathymetric, gravity... -
Application of entropy-ratio maps to surficial reef facies, Great Barrier Reef
Entropy-ratio maps enable mapping of surficial facies of coral reefs at any chosen resolution. A ternary classification uses detritus, framework encrustation, and pavement as... -
Oldest Cretaceous sequence, Giralia Anticline, Carnarvon Basin, Western...
Outcrop of the oldest Cretaceous sequence in the Giralia Anticline and the Giralia No. 1 well, penetrating the same sequence, are described and biostratigraphically assessed in... -
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of Late Palaeozoic glaciomarine sediments...
Sediments of the Late Palaeozoic Urana Formation in infrabasins beneath the Cainozoic Murray Basin include glaciomarine diamictite, fine-grained sediment, sandstone, and...
