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... -
Geological history of the outer North West Shelf of Australia: a synthesis
This paper uses information contained in other papers in this issue of the AGSO Journal together with the scientific literature to produce a synthesis of the geological... -
AGSO Journal vol.14 no. 1
Content: 1.Chaproniere GCH, Pigram CJ. Miocene to Pleistocene foraminiferal biostratigraphy of dredge samples from the Marion Plateau, offshore Queensland, Australia. 2.Scott... -
Nannofossil and planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy around the...
Nannofossil evidence suggests that the up-sequence appearance of Globigerinoides quadrilobatus primordius is depth-related, and first occurs at a lower stratigraphic level in... -
The Maastrichtian and early Tertiary record of the Great Australian Bight...
Samples dredged during BMR Survey 66 by KV, Rig Seismic in the central Great Australian Bight Basin are examined and their calcareous nannofossils are recorded. The... -
Management of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers in Queensland, Australia
Many Queensland rivers have extensive deltas, which have large reserves of groundwater. These deltas contain fertile land suitable for intense agricultural development with... -

Chemistry of manganese nodules from the Cape Leeuwin field off Western Australia
A preliminary report on the manganese nodule field southwest of Western Australia published in this Journal recently (Frakes, Exon and Granath, 1977) quoted chemical analyses... -
Glacially grooved surfaces in the Grant Group, Grant Range, Canning Basin...
Grooved surfaces in Late Palaeozoic Grant Group rocks in the central Grant Range were cut by glacial ice. The orientation of the grooves and small step-like sedimentary... -
Variation of crustal mass over the Australian region
Seismic refraction surveys in Australia and nearby marine areas provide data on crustal velocities and layer thicknesses. The averages of these at various places have been used... -
The elusive Cook volcano and other submarine forearc volcanoes in the Solomon Islands
Submarine volcanoes reported from the forearc region of the New Georgia Group are anomalously close to the line of northeast wards subduction of the Woodlark Basin. Kavachi is a... -
Archaeocyatha of the Amadeus and Georgina Basins
The Todd River Dolomite (Amadeus Basin) and Mount Baldwin Formation (Georgina Basin) are a part of the Early Cambrian platform cover of the central Australian craton. Marine... -
Palynostratigraphy of the Bookpurnong Beds and related Late Miocene-Early...
Dinoflagellates offer a reliable method for distinguishing the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene Bookpurnong beds from lithologically similar marginal marine sediments, such as the... -
Devonian fish remains from Billiluna, eastern Canning Basin, Western Australia
Fragmentary remains of Devonian fishes are described from the Knobby Sandstone, a thick non-marine clastic formation in the eastern Canning Basin, which is a potential petroleum... -
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... -
Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy: an assessment of foraminiferal and...
From a study of middle to late Eocene calcareous nannofossil assemblages in four sections in the Otway Basin of southeastern Australia, a sequence of biostratigraphic events has... -
Stratigraphy and sedimentology of mid-Tertiary permeability barriers in the...
In the Murray Basin of southeastern Australia, the accelerated emergence of groundwater-related salinity problems in recent decades has led to the realisation that future... -
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... -
Diagenetic organic matter in Recent sediments and environments of deposition
Organic geochemical studies of the reduced organic material in sedimentary rocks provide a valuable insight into the origin and history of the sediments. Information on the... -
Flushing of Australian estuaries, coastal lakes and embayments: an overview...
Examination of a simple, but quantitative parameter, Sf/So, the ratio of average salinity of a coastal waterway/marine source water salinity, both geographically and temporally,...
