Geoscience Australia Data provides geological information for the Drummond Basin in east-central Queensland. The dataset describes a structural remnant of a large intermontane basin covering approximately 25,000 km2, which received up to 12,000 m of predominantly fluviatile sediments. The data was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Use Cases
- Modeling sedimentary basin evolution based on described fluviatile depositional environment
- Analyzing structural geology based on the basin's formation after the Tabberabberan Orogeny
- Studying paleogeography based on the described northerly flowing river system
- Correlating regional stratigraphy based on the temporal range from Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous
Strengths
- Covers a large spatial area of approximately 25,000 km2
- Describes a significant sediment thickness of up to 12,000 meters
- Provides a specific temporal context (Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous)
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Data is provided in PDF/HTML formats, which may limit machine-readability
