Vegetation and climate of the late Cainozoic in the Murray Basin and their...
The Murray Basin was forested throughout the Tertiary, becoming open woodlands and grasslands in Plio-Pleistocene time. Precipitation was very high through the early Tertiary,... -
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... -
Gradational benthic marine communities in the Early Carboniferous...
Four benthic marine fossil commumtles are recognised in faunas of the Rhipidomella fortimuscula brachiopod Zone of late Visean (Early Carboniferous) age using multivariate... -
The Great Artesian Basin, Australia
The Great Artesian Basin occupies 1.7 X 10^6 km^2, or about one-fifth of Australia, extending across parts of Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern... -
Origins of sulphide in sediments
Sulphide in sedimentary ore deposits may be derived directly from the mantle or by reduction of sulphate. Sulphide in modem hydrothermal deposits is thought to have formed... -
Implications of Australian seismic and gravity measurements for the...
In a previous paper densities of crustal layers were inferred from seismic refraction surveys in Australia and surrounding marine areas. These indicated substantial variations... -
Upper Cambrian (Mindyallan) trilobites and stratigraphy of the Kayrunnera...
Nine species of trilobites are recorded from three localities within a restricted stratigraphic interval near the base of the newly defined Kayrunnera Group (previously... -
A non-marine Lower Cretaceous rift-related epiclastic volcanic unit in...
The Early Cretaceous non-marine volcaniclastic Eumeralla Formation accumulated in a rift basin on the southern margin of Australia during the break-up of eastern Gondwana.... -
First record of Tethyan palynomorphs from the Late Triassic of East Antarctica
A well-preserved Late Triassic palynoflora from the upper Flagstone Bench Formation, Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica, contains taxa that are also widely distributed in... -
Palynology of the Oligocene-Miocene sequence in the Oakvale-1 corehole,...
Palynological analysis of the marine Oligocene-Miocene Geera Clay and Renmark Group in the Oakvale-l corehole in the western Murray Basin has shown diverse and well-preserved... -
Architecture and evolution of the Australian continental margin
Interpretation of key seismic profiles around the Australian margin clearly show that the three principal rift-drift segments (north-western/western, southern, and eastern) have... -
Glacial-interglacial paleoceanography from Australian margin sediments:...
The Australian Geological Survey Organisation has collected cores from two areas of the Australian continental margin- the Exmouth Plateau and Perth Basin (EP/PB) in the... -
Stratigraphy and palynology of Mesozoic sediments from the Great Australian...
The offshore Mesozoic Bight and Duntroon Basins formed through rifting and separation of the Australian and Antarctic plates. Palynological investigation of samples dredged from... -
Buried reef structures in the Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin, Western Australia
Buried Upper Devonian reef has been found in Meda No. 1 borehole in the Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin. Frequency analysis made on seismic-record sections across the structure... -
Impact of runoff on nutrient patterns in northern Port Phillip Bay, Victoria
As part of the Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study, bay-wide nutrient (ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate) and chlorophyll a distributions were measured at monthly... -
Sequence analysis and depositional models of crinoidal limestones, Permian...
The Permian Yessabah Limestone, a thick crinoidal limestone unit, appears abruptly in the stratigraphic succession over a large area of the Hastings Block in northeastern New... -
Structure and hydrocarbon potential of the Bremer Basin, southwest Australia
The Bremer Basin underlies part of the upper continental slope of offshore southwest Australia. It occupies an area of 9000 km2, and contains a sedimentary pile probably 10 km... -
Australia's buoyancy inherited from Gondwanaland
In company with the other components and continental successors of the Neoproterozoic to Mesozoic Gondwanaland supercontinent, Phanerozoic Australia has a buoyant cratonic... -
Seismic refraction - a tool for studying coral reef growth
Seismic refraction studies have been conducted in close proximity to shallow boreholes previously drilled at Bewick (Northern Great Barrier Reef), Hayman (Central Great Barrier... -
Miocene to Pleistocene foraminiferal biostratigraphy of dredge samples from...
Planktic and larger benthic foraminiferids have been studied in thin section from a suite of dredge samples of two sites on the Marion Plateau, offshore Queensland. The two...
