Description
Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician data from the Ninmaroo Formation in the Georgina Basin, describing epeiric carbonate sedimentation. The dataset, published by Geoscience Australia Data, details lithofacies including ooid, peloid, conglomerate, skeletal, and dolostone types. It was last updated on 2026 05 14.
Use Cases
Modeling ancient shallow marine depositional environments based on described lithofacies patterns.
Analyzing cyclic sedimentation patterns likely driven by storm shoaling events.
Studying diagenetic processes in carbonate rocks based on the late diagenetic dolostone lithofacies.
Reconstructing paleogeography and tidal circulation from the described barrier complex and channel systems.
Strengths
Provides detailed sedimentological description of a specific geological formation.
Covers a defined geological time range: Upper Cambrian to Lower Ordovician.
Describes multiple lithofacies types including ooid, peloid, skeletal, and dolostone.
Limitations
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Data is provided as PDF and HTML documents, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
