L021 Broome seismic reflection survey, WA, 1955

The Bureau of Mineral Resources conducted a seismic reflection survey of a small area near Broome, W.A., during 1954 and 1955. It was part of a general investigation of the Canning Basin and was aimed at determining the distribution of sediments south of the Fenton Fault. The seismic work indicated a sedimentary thickness of at least 6000 feet, and probably as much as 10,000 feet could be expected. Italso showed that the subsurface formations are probably folded and faulted.1954至1955年，矿产资源局（Bureau of Mineral Resources）于西澳大利亚州布鲁姆附近的小片区域实施了地震反射勘探（seismic reflection survey）。该勘探是坎宁盆地（Canning Basin）全域调查的一部分，旨在探明芬顿断层（Fenton Fault）以南的沉积物分布范围。本次地震勘探结果显示，沉积层厚度至少为6000英尺，预计最大厚度可达10000英尺；同时还揭示出地下地层大概率存在褶皱与断裂构造。
