Geotectonics and volcanism in Papua New Guinea: a review of the late Cainozoic
A considerable amount of new information obtained since about 1965 has contributed greatly to a fuller understanding of late Cainozoic tectonics and volcanism in Papua New... -
The continent/island-arc collision in northern Papua New Guinea
Recent geological mapping in the north coast ranges of Papua New Guinea has recognised a Paleogene island arc. This arc is believed to have faced southward, and formed at the... -
The crustal structure of the Gulf of Papua and northwest Coral Sea
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea gives consistent results using several inversion... -
Mode of emplacement of the Papuan Ultramafic Belt: a discussion
Connelly (1979) states: "Geological and geophysical evidence from a number of studies has established that the Papuan Ultramafic Belt is probably an overthrust sheet of oceanic... -
Absolute determinations of gravity in Australia and Papua New Guinea during 1979
A co-operative survey between the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources during 1979 successfully measured the acceleration due to gravity... -
Stable isotope and chemical studies of volcanic exhalations and thermal...
Thermal waters in Matupi Harbour and Sulphur Creek, Rabaul caldera have D/H and O18/O16 ratios that are indicative of a mixed source. They are the result of mixing of local... -
Mode of emplacement of the Papuan Ultramafic Belt
Geological and geophysical evidence from a number of studies has established that the Papuan Ultramafic Belt is probably an overthrust sheet of oceanic crust and mantle, with a... -
Andesites of Bagana volcano, Papua New Guinea: chemical stratigraphy, and a...
Chemically analysed lavas from Bagana, an active andesitic volcano on Bougainville Island, can be assigned to one of three age groups - pre-1943, 1943-53, or 1959-75. Lavas of... -
A new late Pleistocene diprotodontid (Marsupialia) from Pureni, Southern...
A new zygomaturine diprotodontid, Hulith erium tomasellii gen. et sp. nov., from 38 000-year-old swamp sediments at Pureni, Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea is the... -
Cretaceous ammonites from south-central Papua New Guinea
Eleven ammonite species, including one new taxon, are described from eleven localities in the south-central Papua New Guinea. One of them, Fauriella boissieri (Pictet), is a... -
The occurrence of Thylacinus in Tertiary Rocks from Papua New Guinea
Collecting at the Pliocene Awe fauna type locality (Plane 1967) on the west bank of the Watut River, in the Morobe District of Papua New Guinea during 1962 and 1963 produced a... -
Planktonic foraminifera, age of sediments and polarity reversals, New...
Samples from the Rudiger Point-Cape Ruge area, New Britain, are not from a conformable late Miocene-earliest Pliocene sequence, as was presumed by previous workers, but rather... -
Seismic travel-times to east Papua from USSR nuclear explosions
Recordings of P seismic waves from a Novaya Zemlya nuclear explosion at 26 sites on the east Papuan peninsula show that there are significant apparent departures (residuals)... -
A belemnite biozonation for the Jurassic-Cretaceous of Papua New Guinea and...
Middle and Late Jurassic and some Early Cretaceous Belemnitida collected mostly within the region covered by the Ok Tedi and Mianmin 1:250 000 sheets in the central highlands of... -
The seismic zone of the Papuan Fold Belt
Improved regional seismograph coverage in the 1970s has enhanced the resolution of the seismicity of the southern highlands of Papua New Guinea. Two zones can be defined. The... -
A pygmy cassowary (Casuarius lydekkeri) from late Pleistocene bog deposits...
Bones of a tiny cassowary from late Pleistocene bog deposits in the Southern Highlands of New Guinea are indistinguishable from bones of Casuarius lydekkeri of unknown... -
Ammonites of the Cretaceous Ieru Formation, western Papua New Guinea
Eleven ammonite species from five localities in the Ieru Formation, western Papua New Guinea, are described. Four are identified with the well known and widely distributed... -
Hot-spot volcanism in St Andrew Strait, Papua New Guinea: geochemistry of a...
Four distinct volcanic rock types are found above a conjectured mantle hot spot in St Andrew Strait, northern Papua New Guinea. Hypersthene-normative basalts on Baluan Island... -
Planorbulinella solida sp.nov. (foraminiferida) from the Miocene of Papua New Guinea
