Bore No. 3853 on E.W. Langbien's Bullaroon Station, Bourke is situated 2 miles west-northwest from Bore No. 3825 on the same property and reported upon 7/12/43 and 2/11/44. This report details the results of the micro-examination of samples taken from 28 to 386 feet down.
-
Ten samples from a bore were submitted for micropalaeontological examination. The first sample was taken at a depth of 19-35 feet and the last at 417-425 feet. As these samples are the first in a series from bores in the Mt. Burr area, the fossil content of each sample is listed in detail, so that it can form a basis for the work on samples from other bores. At the end of the report a complete list of fossils determined, together with their distribution in the samples, is given.

The work described in this report forms part of the uranium investigation being conducted by the Commonwealth Government for the British Government. 94 samples from the Radium Hill workings, S.A., were submitted to the Mineral Resources Survey for determination of relative radioactivity, with a view to making estimates of their uranium content. After determinations were made a suite of these samples was selected and submitted for assay for uranium and thorium by the South Australian School of Mines. This report comprises a description of the equipment, procedure and calibration, along with a discussion of the specific problems associated with the ore, the random variations in count-rate, and the results of tests of the ore samples.
