Geological Zones of Contact and Regional Metamorphism in Victoria at 1:100,000 Scale

Geological Survey of Victoria collected this dataset, which displays areas and styles of contact and regional metamorphism. The data is part of a broader geological collection including outcrop boundaries, structural lines, and placer deposits. It was last updated on 2026-04-09 and is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial distribution of contact metamorphism zones based on the described geological areas.
• Analyze the relationship between metamorphic style and other geological features like structural lines mentioned in the description.
• Integrate metamorphism data with accompanying datasets on geology outcrop and placer deposits for regional geological modeling.

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative Geological Survey of Victoria.
• Part of a broader, integrated geological data collection including multiple related datasets.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (e.g., SHP, GDB, WFS, DWG).
• Explicitly licensed under the permissive CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

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