Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous sedimentary sequence covering approximately 25,000 km² in east-central Queensland. The Drummond Basin is a structural remnant of a large intermontane basin that received up to 12,000 m of fluviatile sediments. This dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au.
Use Cases
- Analyze basin-scale sedimentary architecture based on the described fluviatile depositional system.
- Model structural evolution based on the description of folding and uplift during the Kanimblan orogenic event.
- Map geological boundaries based on the described outcrop area west and east of the Anakie Inlier.
- Study sediment provenance and transport based on the described northerly flowing river system.
Strengths
- Describes a significant geological feature covering approximately 25,000 km².
- Provides a detailed geological history including depositional thickness of up to 12,000 m and key tectonic events.
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.
