Foraminifera in UKA Cabawin No 1 Well, Queensland

Foraminifera microfossils of Lower Cretaceous and Permian ages were identified in cores and cuttings from the Cabawin No. 1 well in Queensland. The Lower Cretaceous assemblage shows a close relationship with species found in the Aptian beds at Roma. Geoscience Australia Data published this record, last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Correlating Lower Cretaceous rock formations based on foraminifera assemblages mentioned in the description
• Studying Permian microfossil diversity and distribution based on the described tentative correlation with Springsure assemblages
• Analyzing paleoenvironmental conditions in Queensland's geological past based on the described fossil content

Strengths

• Identifies specific geological ages (Lower Cretaceous and Permian) for the fossil content.
• Provides a specific geographical and geological context (Cabawin No. 1 well, Queensland).
• Suggests correlations with other known assemblages (Roma Aptian beds, Springsure).

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.
