Loch Lilly-Kars Belt: Geochemical Data for Cambrian and Siluro-Devonian Rocks

Geoscience Australia compiled geochemical data from mafic to intermediate rocks in the Loch Lilly-Kars Belt within the Delamerian Orogen. The data was sourced from MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative campaigns and legacy drillholes in New South Wales and South Australia. It distinguishes two Cambrian magmatic events and characterizes Siluro-Devonian rocks.

Use Cases

• Correlating rock units based on geochemical signatures mentioned in the description
• Modeling tectonic settings like continental arcs and back-arc systems based on described geochemical affinities
• Identifying prospective areas for mineral systems based on the described spatial and temporal magmatic events

Strengths

• Data integrates existing and newly collected samples from government drilling campaigns
• Analysis is supported by new U-Pb geochronology data mentioned in the description

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
