Geological Reconnaissance of the Rawlinson-Macdonald Area, Western Australia

Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological reconnaissance report on the Macdonald and Rawlinson sheet areas. The report describes an aggregate thickness of 27,000 feet of Precambrian sedimentary rocks, divided into Lower and Upper Proterozoic sequences. It was last updated on 2026-05-10.

Use Cases

• Stratigraphic analysis based on described Lower and Upper Proterozoic rock sequences.
• Regional geological correlation based on comparisons to the Arunta Complex near Alice Springs.
• Mapping unconformities based on the described visible unconformity in the north-east Macdonald sheet area.

Strengths

• Report describes a specific aggregate thickness of 27,000 feet of Precambrian sedimentary rocks.
• Provides a geological differentiation between Lower and Upper Proterozoic sequences and possible Archaean rocks.

Limitations

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