Holocene shoreline progradation and coastal evolution at Guichen and Rivoli Bays, southern Australia
Prograded barrier systems record shoreline behaviour and palaeoenvironmental information. The Guichen Bay Holocene embayment fill succession in South Australia has been subject to several prominent studies; however, several important unanswered questions remained regarding the timing of the older ridge sets at this site. Additional Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating indicates that progradation commenced in the southeastern corner of t…

The last interglacial sea-level high stand on the southern Cape coastline of South Africa
The continental margin of southern South Africa exhibits an array of emergent marginal marine sediments permitting the reconstruction of long-term eustatic sea-level changes. We report a suite of optical luminescence ages and supplementary amino acid racemization data, which provide paleosea-level index points for three sites on this coastline. Deposits in the Swartvlei and Groot Brak estuaries display tidal inlet facies overlain by shoreface or …
Holocene palaeofire records in a high-level, proximal valley-fill (Wilson Bog), Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia
An elevated valley-fill peat bog (Wilson Bog) near Mount Lofty, South Australia, failed in November 2005 following a flooding event, and exposed representative sections of the sediment infill. Two distinct units were revealed: 2 m of coarse-grained, siliciclastic sand/gravel, overlain by 2 m of peat. A simple charcoal extraction technique based on floatation and skimming was developed to extract coarse charcoal from coarse-grained gravels to dete…

Holocene sea-level change on the southeast coast of Australia
A revised Holocene sea-level curve for the southeast coast of New South Wales, Australia, is presented based on a review of previously published geochronological results for fossil molluscs, organic-rich mud, mangrove roots and fixed biological indicators. It is supplemented by new radiocarbon and amino acid racemization-derived ages on fossil molluscs from transgressive sandsheet facies in back-barrier settings within shallow incised valleys alo…
Successive foraminiferal faunas and inferred palaeoenvironments associated with the postglacial (Holocene) marine transgression, Gulf St Vincent, South Australia
Gulf St Vincent is one of a pair of elongate, triangular, shallow water embayments into the southern coast of continental Australia. From the southern floor of this embayment, within a shallow basin-like depression where present-day water depth is about 40 m, vibracore SV23 recovered c. 4 m of late Quaternary sediments. The uppermost 1.5 m of this core comprises postglacial (Holocene) marine deposits; six radiocarbon ages for the interval 64-130 …

Sea-level and environmental changes since the last interglacial in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia
Aboriginal occupation on Rottnest Island, Western Australia, provisionally dated by Aspartic Acid Racemisation assay of land snails to greater than 50 ka
The generally accepted age for the earliest human occupation of Australia is about 60,000 years (e.g. Chappell et al. 1996), with many dates centred around 30,000 to 40,000 years (e.g. Pearce and Barbetti 1981; Dortch 1984; Allen and Holdaway 1995; Dortch and Dortch 1996). Recent, but disputed, archaeological evidence at Jinmium in the Northern Territory indicates a much earlier date of occupation of 116,000 years (FuUagar et al. 1996; Spooner 19…
Age of the Lancefield megafauna
The Lancefield megafauna site is located on the southwest edge of the small town of Lancefield, 70 km NNE of Melbourne. The site is located in a swamp, a depression (possibly formed by a collapsed lava tunnel) which is almost surrounded by weathered Pliocene basalts which have formed a laterite cap. A natural spring flow under this cap emerges at the swamp and the water then drains into Deep Creek, a tributary of the Maribyrnong River. Three foss…
Glacial Lowstand Deposits on the Outer Continental Shelf of Southeastern Australia
Vibracores collected from water depths of 130 to 150 m on the outer continental shelf of southeastern Australia contain evidence for several cycles of shallow marine deposition. One of these vibracores (112/VC/134; lat. 33°24′S, long, 151°58′ E) preserves evidence for the last three glacial lowstands, as inferred from radiocarbon dating, amino acid racemization, and fossil mollusc assemblages. The core contains the inner-shelf molluscs Pecten fum…
Aminostratigraphy of Quaternary coastal sequences in southern Australia — An overview
Coastal Aminostratigraphy of the Last Interglaciation in Southern Australia
Amino acid racemization data for marine molluscs of the last interglaciation from southern Australia provide the basis for a predictive model for relative dating of late Quaternary sequences. Genera analyzed include Anadara sp., Katelysia sp., Glycymeris sp., and Fulvia sp. that exhibit moderate racemization rates. A genus effect on racemization is not evident in these taxa. Coefficients of variation for intershell D/L ratio variation for each de…
Sea-Level History, 45,000 to 30,000 yr B.P., Inferred from Benthic Foraminifera, Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia
Surficial sediments of Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia, are predominantly bioclastic, cool-temperate carbonates. Benthic foraminifera are abundant and distribution of species is closely related to water depth. For example, Massilina milletti is most common at depths ca. 40 m, while Discorbis dimidiatus is characteristics of shallow, subtidal environments. Elphidium crispum , a shallow-water species, and E. macelliforme , favoring deeper water, …
