Examination of Samples from Arabella No. 1, Candace No. 1 and Kybra No. 1, Offshore Carnar

Offshore Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, is the location for this examination of samples from three wells. The dataset contains results from the analysis of Triassic conodonts, a type of microfossil. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Conduct biostratigraphic dating based on Triassic conodont fossil assemblages.
• Correlate geological formations between offshore wells based on conodont findings.
• Study paleoenvironmental conditions of the Triassic period in the Carnarvon Basin.
• Support hydrocarbon exploration by identifying key fossil zones in subsurface samples.

Strengths

• Data originates from Geoscience Australia Data, a national geological authority.
• Focuses on a specific microfossil group (conodonts) critical for dating Triassic rocks.
• Covers samples from three distinct offshore wells (Arabella No. 1, Candace No. 1, Kybra No. 1).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
