Adelaide University AAPG Student Chapter

One week ago the University of Adelaide AAPG Student Chapter Field Trip to Kangaroo Island was well under way. Led by Prof. Peter Moore of Curtin University, we were shown the enigmatic story of a shallow marine Cambrian basin and spent plenty of time hunting for the famous trilobite fossils of the Emu Bay Shale in the sunshine. A fantastic time by all accounts - big thank you to everyone involved.

Best of luck to The University of Adelaide's AAPG Imperial Barrel Award team of 2016, who are in the process of finalizing their basin evaluation and will be presenting to the Asia Pacific Region judges mid April!

In November 2014, University of Adelaide AAPG student chapter and Bob Dalgarno led 22 partticipants on a 3-day excursion to examine the geology of the Otway Basin and limestone coast of Victoria and South Australia. Highlights included Cretaceous sands, tertiary volcanoes, modern karst features, and Pleistocene dunes. A good time was had by all. Stay tuned for details on our 2015 trip!
