A new small-bodied ornithopod dinosaur, Diluvicursor pickeringi , gen. et sp. nov., is named from the lower Albian of Eumeralla Formation in southeastern Australia and helps shed light on anatomy diversity Gondwanan ornithopods. Comprising an almost complete tail partial right hindlimb, holotype (NMV P221080) was deposited as a carcass or body-part log-filled scour near base deep, high-energy river that incised faunally rich, substantially forested riverine floodplain within...
Abstract The Flat Rocks locality in the Wonthaggi Formation (Strzelecki Group) of Gippsland Basin, southeastern Australia, hosts fossils a late Barremian vertebrate fauna that inhabited ancient rift between Australia and Antarctica. Known from its dentary, Qantassaurus intrepidus Rich Vickers-Rich, 1999 has been only dinosaur named this locality. However, plethora collected suggests further dinosaurs await discovery. From locality, we name new small-bodied ornithopod, Galleonosaurus dorisae...
Pterosaur remains have been reported from every continent; however, pterosaur skeletons remain rare. A new is presented here, Haliskia peterseni gen. et sp. nov., constituting the most complete specimen Australia upper Albian Toolebuc Formation of Eromanga Basin (Queensland, Australia). combination features, including presence a premaxillary crest and curved teeth, morphology scapulocoracoid, support its referral to Anhangueria. can be distinguished all other anhanguerian pterosaurs based on...
The subsidence history of the Northern Carnarvon Basin has been dominated by simple thermal sag following creation Exmouth, Barrow and Dampier Sub-basins Early to Middle Jurassic rifting. This conclusion follows from recognition vitrinite reflectance suppression, which removes need for recent heating events, use seismic stratigraphy, rather than only palynology micro-palaeontology, determine palaeo-water depths.The thermal-sag model, related rifting, accounts post-rift sedimentary...
Barrow Island is located 55 kilometres off the NW coast of Australia, 1300 north Perth. The first well on island, drilled by West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited (WAPET) in 1964, discovered a small accumulation oil Upper Jurassic sandstone. fourth was completed as shallower discovery Lower Cretaceous Windalia Sandstone. Pool declared commercial May 1966 and shipment crude made April 1967.Production peaked at 7300 kilolitres (about 45 000 barrels) per day early life field has declined to...
A detailed sedimentological study of the Dupuy Member and Barrow Group has resulted in a regional model for deposition these Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous reservoir sequences Sub-basin. The is interpreted as prograding offshore slope sequence turbidite sandstones debris flows, which built laterally into Sub-basin from along its eastern margin. This contains bentonite markers upper part. overlying was deposited by delta prograded length southwest onlapped side sub-basin. topsets are...
The Lower Cretaceous Strzelecki Group forms the basement to eastern part of Gippsland Basin, but is exposed in west and spectacular outcrops, especially along coastal area between San Remo Inverloch. highly faulted lacks stratigraphic markers so matching sections different fault blocks based only on lithology has not been possible. A combination mapping, detailed logging, vitrinite reflectance measurements palynology were used determine present-day thickness amount erosion that occurred...
The TP/3 Part I permit in the Barrow Sub-basin has been held by WAPET since 1952. Improvements seismic quality and oilfield economics early 1980s resulted 1985 Saladin oil discovery, which subsequently led to Yammaderry, Cowle Roller discoveries.Yammaderry-1, drilled 1988, encountered 16.5 m of gas capping a nine metre column. In 1989, Cowle-1 penetrated 14 column tested at 1016 m3 (6390 BBL) per day. Roller-1, 1990, six metres 866 (5450 Roller-2, deviated downdip find oil/water contact,...
The Saladin Oil Field is located immediately east of Thevenard Island, 25 km northwest Onslow, in the Barrow Sub- basin, Australia. 1, drilled 1985 on a structure mapped from 1984 and older seismic data, tested 47° API oil at 875 kL/d (5510 B/D) Early Cretaceous Group. Additional shallow- water was shot Telseis* survey conducted early 1986 over Island its fringing shoals. 2 1986, 3 1987, 1745 1790 kL per day respectively (10 975 11 280 BOPD), setting successive Australian single- zone flow...
Abstract During detailed interpretation of seismic survey JNOC88 and some AGSO lines in the northeastern part Offshore Canning Basin (Offshore Fitzroy graben Rowley sub-basin), different scales valleys channels Albian to Palaeocene succession were noted. The sediments area valley/channel development are dominantly calcilutite, marl, clay, silt, fine sand deposited shelf-to-slope water depths. most evident associated with Upper Cretaceous event C6-2 Base Tertiary C13-1, dominant north-south...
