Arabella, Candace, Kybra: Triassic Conodont Samples from Offshore Western Australia

Western Australia's offshore Carnarvon Basin provides the location for this dataset. It contains results from an examination of samples from three drill sites—Arabella No. 1, Candace No. 1, and Kybra No. 1—for Triassic conodonts. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Biostratigraphic correlation based on conodont fossil occurrences.
• Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Triassic Carnarvon Basin.
• Age dating of offshore well samples using conodont biozones.
• Assessing fossil preservation and distribution in specific drill cores.

Strengths

• Data is associated with three specific offshore well locations: Arabella No. 1, Candace No. 1, and Kybra No. 1.
• Focuses on a specific geological period (Triassic) and fossil group (conodonts).
• Managed by an authoritative organization, the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
