Geology of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus off northwest Australia:...
In this paper we present the first detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus. New single-channel seismic profiles helped to select... -
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... -
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... -
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
Salinity of deep formation water in the Canning Basin, estimated from well log data or measured on water samples from oil-production wells and drill stem tests, ranges from... -
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... -
Aeolianites in the Jurassic Jurgurra Sandstone, Canning Basin, Western Australia
During the geological mapping of the Mount Anderson Sheet area of the Canning Basin in 1976, an exposure of the Jurassic Jurgurra Sandstone about 20 km north of the type... -
Western Australia: Phanerozoic geology and mineral resources
Phanerozoic rocks in onshore Western Australia are primarily sedimentary. Volcanic and intrusive rocks are known from only a few areas and are mostly related to continental... -
Tectonic and sedimentary history of the Argo Abyssal Plain, eastern Indian Ocean
Bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles totalling about 2800 km, and covering about 110 000 km2 of the Argo Abyssal plain, have been analysed. The early emplacement of... -
Mesozoic outcrops on the lower continental slope off Exmouth, Western Australia
Seismic reflection profiles over the southwestern margin of the Exmouth Plateau, which have been tentatively tied to the Northwest Shelf stratigraphic sequence, indicate that... -
Mesozoic sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks dredged from the northern...
An extensive program of dredging was undertaken by AGSO in 1990 on the northern Exmouth Plateau and Rowley Terrace margin, mainly to provide geological control for seismic... -
Videos and images from SOL5117 (Joseph Bonaparte Gulf)
The Joseph Bonaparte Gulf survey (SOL5117, GA survey #0325) was conducted on the R.V. Solander between 30 July and 30 September 2010 in collaboration with staff from 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... -
Triassic environments in the Canning Basin, Western Australia
A review of the lithology, sedimentary structures and palaeontology, supplemented by original investigations, suggests that the Triassic system in the Canning Basin can be... -
Preliminary studies of the Cape Leeuwin manganese nodule deposit off Western...
In 1970 a large deposit of ferromanganese nodules was discovered on the floor of the Indian Ocean southwest of Cape Leeuwin by the research vessel USNS Eltanin. This discovery,... -
Redefining the petroleum systems of the Browse Basin
The Browse Basin lies offshore from the remote Western Australia Kimberley region and hosts vast reserves of gas, some of which are rich in condensate, making it Australia's... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Structure and tectonic history of the northern Exmouth Plateau and Rowley...
A series of regional seismic reflection lines has been recorded, which link three key exploration wells on the northern Exmouth Plateau and Rowley Terrace to the lower...
