Triassic Conodont Examination from Four Offshore Wells in Western Australia

Examination of samples from four offshore wells—Cossigny No. 1, Flinders Shoal No. 1, Hampton No. 1, and Lawley No. 1—in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, for Triassic conodonts. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on June 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Biostratigraphic dating of Triassic rock sequences based on conodont fossil assemblages mentioned in the description
• Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the offshore Carnarvon Basin based on conodont data
• Correlation of geological formations between the four sampled wells based on conodont findings

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific paleontological group (conodonts) for a defined geological period (Triassic)
• Samples are from four distinct offshore well locations, providing spatial coverage within the Carnarvon Basin

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
