Geology of the Williambury and Moogooree One Mile Map Areas in the Carnarvon Basin

The Carnarvon sedimentary basin area covered by the Williambury and Moogooree one mile map sheets is described by Geoscience Australia. The report details a stratigraphic sequence including Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Cretaceous, and Tertiary sediments, with thicknesses ranging from 40 to over 8000 feet, and covers structural geology, geological history, and physiography. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Modeling sedimentary basin evolution based on described stratigraphic thicknesses and unconformities.
• Analyzing regional geological structure based on the account of structural geology.
• Studying Tertiary lateritisation processes based on the description of silicified caps and post-laterite deposits.
• Correlating regional geology based on the detailed sequence of marine and terrestrial deposits.

Strengths

• Provides specific stratigraphic thicknesses, such as 4750 feet of Devonian and over 8000 feet of Permian sediments.
• Describes a complete geological history from Pre-Cambrian basement to Tertiary deposits and lateritisation.
• Covers both stratigraphy and structural geology for a defined geographic area.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided as PDF/HTML reports, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
