A.O.G. Wentworth No. 1: Palynological Report on Permian Sediments

Palynological examination of cores from the subsidised A.O.G. Wentworth No.1 well indicates a transition from Tertiary into Lower Cretaceous marine sediments at depths between 1283-1335 feet or 140-1455 feet. The well was completed in conglomerates, probably of Lower Permian age, at a total depth of 2081 feet. This report, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, compares these findings with samples from the Oaklands-Coorabin coalfield.

Use Cases

• Correlating stratigraphic layers based on palynological markers mentioned in the description
• Analyzing sediment age transitions using depth intervals provided in the report
• Comparing coal measure ages between the Murray Basin and Sydney Basin as described

Strengths

• Report provides specific depth intervals for geological transitions (e.g., 1283-1335 feet)
• Analysis compares findings with a separate coalfield area (Oaklands-Coorabin) for age correlation

Limitations

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