The material submitted for examination came from 35 bores which were drilled in the Adelaide Plains during 1945 and 1946. For comparative purposes, material has also been examined from several bores previously drilled in the area. The bores were sunk for water and the area drilled extended from Bore No. 69 at Royal Park northwest of Adelaide, to Nathan Brewery Bore on the Torrens River. The bores range in depth from 160 to 620 feet. This report comprises descriptions of stratigraphic sequence, fossil fauna, and the structure of the Adelaide Basin, with reference to the material examined. Two accompanying plans are included.
