Western Australia's Canning Basin is covered by a compilation of biostratigraphic and borehole stratigraphic data from 157 boreholes. The report consolidates previous research to create a tectonostratigraphic framework and includes 25 correlation transects across 604 key boreholes. Detailed datasets are available in appendices, with findings refined through ongoing data collection and expert collaboration.
Use Cases
- Update biostratigraphic zonation across the basin based on compiled fossil data.
- Create regional stratigraphic correlations based on borehole logs and sequence stratigraphy.
- Assess aquifer extent and variability for groundwater system modeling based on hydrostratigraphic classification.
- Refine tectonostratigraphic frameworks by integrating borehole data with outcrop information and chemostratigraphy.
Strengths
- Data compiled from 157 boreholes provides a basin-wide scope.
- Includes 25 correlation transects visualizing relationships across 604 key boreholes.
- Integrates multiple data types: biostratigraphy, borehole logs, chemostratigraphy, and geochronology.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
