| Abstract: | A gravity survey across the central Mt. Lofty Ranges produced a detailed profile linking the Adelaide Plains with the Murray Basin. The profile is incorporated in a new Bouger Anomaly Map for the Adelaide-Mannum area. Indirect density measurements were obtained from the gravity data, and these were used in establishing a table of surface-rock densities for major units encountered in the survey. Analyses of the regional gravity picture tend to suggest that the crust thickens asymmetrically eastward under the Ranges. Computer modelling revealed the probable attitudes of the Palmer and Eden Faults, the eastern Archaean/Proterozoic boundary, and also the position and attitude of the eastern truncation of the Palmer Granites. |
