Contrasting marginal sediments of a seasonally flooded saline lake - Lake...
Lake Eliza is a hypersaline coastal lake in southeast South Australia, a region of winter rainfall and summer drought. It is fed by ground waters and has no connection with the... -
The Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks of The Granites-Tanami region, Western...
The Granites-Tanami region links the mainly Proterozoic areas of northwestern and central Australia. It is made up of two main tectonic units: The Granites-Tanami Block, which... -

Proterozoic intrusive breccia bodies near Duchess, northwestern Queensland
Several breccia bodies consisting of randomly oriented angular to rounded fragments of locally derived amphibolite-grade metamorphic rocks dispersed in an igneous-textured pink... -
Impact structures as potential petroleum exploration targets: Gosses Bluff,...
Gosses Bluff, a prominent complex annular structure in central Australia, was produced by hypervelocity impact during the Late Jurassic. The impact occurred in the thick... -
Mafic dyke swarms of the western Musgrave Block, central Australia: their...
Several petrographically and geochemically distinct suites of mafic dykes crop out in the Mesoproterozoic Musgrave Block. Intergranular dolerites (group A), as well as the... -
Climatic corrections to Australian heat-flow data
Surface heating subsequent to Pleistocene glaciation in Australia has resulted in a decrease in near-surface thermal gradients. Heat flow in shallow holes therefore appears to... -
A new antiarchan fish (Placodermi) from the Late Devonian of southeastern Australia
A new asterolepidoid antiarch is described from sediments of probable Late Devonian (Frasnian) age in the Boyd Volcanic Complex. on the south coast of New South Wales. It occurs... -
Gravity evidence for a major crustal fracture in eastern Australia
Gravity data are presented for 220 sites covering 180 000 square kilometres in the Prince Charles Mountains area of eastern Antarctica. Bouguer anomalies range from +60 m Gal... -
Hydrogeological modelling for an arid-zone borefield in Amadeus Basin...
Water supply for the town of Alice Springs is obtained from the Roe Creek Borefield, 15 km to the south-southwest. This borefield currently consists of 20 production bores which... -
The Mud Tank Carbonatite, Strangways Range, central Australia
The Mud Tank Carbonatite at the eastern end of the Strangways Range, about 100 km northeast of Alice Springs, was the first to be recognised in Australia. Crystalline carbonate... -
Hydrology of Lake Amadeus, a groundwater-discharge playa in central Australia
Lake Amadeus, a large playa in central Australia, is part of a 500 km long groundwater discharge zone, which extends from Lake Hopkins, in Western Australia, to the Finke River.... -
The gravity field of the Australian basement
The Australian gravity field is analysed to determine whether the basement differs between regions of exposed basement and of covered basement (sedimentary basins). When the... -
Australian Mineral Exploration: outlook improving but challenges remain
The Australian Bureau of Statistics March quarter data indicate further deterioration in Australian mineral exploration keeping current expenditure levels well below recent... -
The ages of Proterozoic granites in the Georgetown Inlier of northeastern...
U-Pb zircon SHRIMP ion-microprobe ages are presented for five Proterozoic igneous rocks from the Georgetown Province of northeastern Queensland. Four of these are interpreted as... -
Late Albian planktonic foraminifera, Strickland River, Papua New Guinea
A small planktonic foraminiferal fauna from a sample on the Strickland River extends knowledge of mid-Cretaceous foraminifera in Papua New Guinea. Genera recorded are... -
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... -
Ninth BMR Symposium
BMR holds an annual symposium, at which results of relevance to industry are stressed. The Ninth Symposium was held in Canberra on 29 and 30 April 1980. Abstracts of the talks... -
Significance of calcareous nannofossil-bearing Jurassic and Cretaceous...
Examination of dredge hauls taken from the Rowley Terrace, northwest Australia, has revealed the occurrence of several Mesozoic nannofossil-bearing levels. Dating has been... -
Computer manipulation of a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of Australia
Images of the topography of Australia (DTM) have been created from a digital data file of about 320 000 topographic spot heights measured during the gravity survey of Australia,...
