“…Sediments of inferred interstadial age (OISs 5c and 5a) have been described in northern Spencer Gulf, South Australia, based on the analysis of a series of vibracores and seismic sections (Gostin et al, 1984;Hails et al, 1984a). Hails et al (1984a) identified palaeosols developed upon marine sediments between sediments of Holocene and Last Interglacial age (OISs 5e; Hails et al, 1984a).…”

“…The Holocene and Last Interglacial (OISs 5e) ages were determined based on radiocarbon, thermoluminescence and amino-acid racemisation dating . Given that the marinesediment-palaeosol units occur between Holocene and Last Interglacial (OISs 5e) units, Hails et al (1984a) concluded that the sediments were deposited during the interstadials of stage 5 (i.e. OISs 5c at 104 ka and 5a at 83 ka).…”

Murray-Wallace, C. V. 2002. Pleistocene coastal stratigraphy, sea-level highstands and neotectonism of the southern Australian passive continental margin-a review.ABSTRACT: Located in a tectonically stable, intraplate setting and in the far field of former ice sheets, the southern Australian passive continental margin represents a globally important region for quantifying sea level during Pleistocene highstands. The stratigraphical record of the southern Australian margin is dominated by geographically extensive coastal barrier, estuarine and peritidal landforms of bioclastic, temperate carbonate affinity, a function of regional aridity. Siliciclastic successions dominate the eastern Australian coastline. Despite the generally high level of tectonic stability, regional contrasts are evident in the elevation of Pleistocene shoreline deposits that largely relate to pre-Quaternary geotectonic setting. The most complete record of Pleistocene highstand deposits occurs in the Murray Basin-Coorong Coastal Plain region, and indicates that interglacial sea-level highstands, for at least the past 11 interglacials, did not deviate by more than 6 m from present sea-level. The Pleistocene marginal marine record of southern Australia is dominantly represented by coastal successions deposited during marine oxygen isotope stages 5e and 7, equating with relative sea-level maxima of 2-6 m and greater than 1 m above present sea-level (APSL) respectively. Intertidal facies of Late Pleistocene interstadial successions rarely occur above present sea level. The most reliable record of glacio-eustatic (ice equivalent) sea level is registered on coastlines developed on stable Precambrian cratons such as the Gawler Craton (Eyre Peninsula), where a consistent elevation of 2 m APSL is registered for over 500 km for the last interglacial shoreline (125 ka).

“…Supported by a suite of radiocarbon ages, and within a conceptual framework of changing sealevels, Gostin et al (1984) described the sedimentary framework; Belperio et al (1984a) reported on chronological studies; the stratigraphy was the subject of papers by Belperio et al (1984b) and Hails et al (1984a);Billing (1984) identified and interpreted palaeosols believed to have formed on sediments at times of emergence, i.e. low stands of sea-level and therefore signifying *Corresponding author: john.cann@unisa.edu.au disconformities; and Hails et al (1984b) described the evidence for Late Quaternary marine transgressions and regressions, within the then-current understanding of Late Pleistocene and Holocene sea-levels (Chappell 1983).…”

“…However, the sediments immediately underlying, in the interval 148 -250 cm, were interpreted differently by the researchers. Hails et al (1984a) assigned these sediments to the 'Pooraka Formation equivalent', alluvial deposits that had formed during a Late Pleistocene lowstand of sea-level.
