Skylab spacecraft stereoscopic photography of the Alice Springs and Snowy Mountains regions of Australia was studied by conventional photogeological techniques to assess its... -
Results of a seismic survey in the southern Denison Trough, Queensland, 1978-79
During 1978-79 BMR conducted a regional seismic survey in the southern Denison Trough, western Bowen Basin, Queensland. The aims of the survey were to examine the structural... -
Eastern Highlands of Australia; their uplift and erosion
The Eastern Highlands form a broad arch, with similar cross sections along its length, and varying altitude of its axis. At least on the western margin in Queensland and near... -
Enhancement and presentation of airborne geophysical data
Airborne geophysical data can be enhanced by a range of linear and non-linear filtering algorithms which selectively enhance the anomalies due to one group of geological sources... -
Multielement composition of the conodont species Polygnathus xylus xylus...
More than 200 conodont clusters and 1300 discrete elements belonging to Polygnathus xylus xylus and Owrkodina brevis were recovered from a sample of the Upper Devonian Napier... -
Late Palaeozoic glaciation
Many problems remain in the understanding of the Late Palaeozoic glaciation. Existing and new evidence suggests that the period and extent of glaciation were more limited than... -
The response and calibration of seismographs at Riverview College...
Seismograms from Riverview College Observatory for 1909 to 1962 are a valuable record of seismic ground motion in the Sydney region during that time, because the constants of... -
Southwest Seismic Zone of Western Australia: measurement of vertical ground...
This paper presents results of repeat surveys of levelling and gravity, analysed to determine areas of vertical ground movement in the Southwest Seismic Zone, 75-200 km east of... -
Geochemical characterisation of iron-rich regolith materials in the Olary...
The Olary Block (SA), an inlier of the Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup, is a target for base-metal and gold exploration. Overburden averaging less than 100 m thick... -
Basin-forming structures and their relevance to hydrocarbon exploration in...
Interpretation of high-quality seismic reflection data from Bass Basin, southeastern Australia, has led to the recognition of major Early Cretaceous extensional normal faults... -
New discoveries of Devonian vertebrates from the Amadeus Basin, central Australia
Devonian vertebrate occurrences are reviewed from nine localities in the Amadeus Basin, of which five are new. Acanthodian, phyllolepid placoderm, rhipidistian, and dipnoan... -
Magnesite-bearing calcrete near Gosses Bluff, Northern Territory
Small nodules and tabular bodies of practically pure micro-crystalline magnesite up to a few centimetres across occur in late Cainozoic calcrete around Gosses Bluff. The... -

The chief morphological characteristics and lithological associations of naturally occurring cleavage fabrics are reviewed with the aim of differentiating qualities that... -
Early geophysical practice - the BMR instrument collection
The Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics was formed in 1946. It replaced the Mineral Resources Survey (1942-46) whose forerunners were the Aerial Geological and... -
New microform publications
BMR has decided that future issues in its Report series will be on microfiche. A hard-copy contents listing, and abstract, will accompany each Report. Summaries of the first... -
Thick ferromanganese deposits from the Dampier Ridge and the Lord Howe Rise...
