Geology of the Williambury and Moogooree One Mile Map Areas

A geological report describes the stratigraphy and structure of an area within Australia's Carnarvon sedimentary basin. The report details a sequence of rock layers, including Devonian marine sediments 4750 feet thick, Carboniferous rocks 2150 feet thick, Permian strata over 8000 feet thick, Cretaceous siltstone about 40 feet thick, and Tertiary deposits up to 80 feet thick. The document was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling sedimentary basin evolution based on described stratigraphic thicknesses and unconformities.
• Mapping regional geological structures based on the account of structural geology.
• Studying Tertiary lateritization processes based on the description of silicified caps ranging up to 30 feet thick.
• Analyzing the geological history and physiography of the region as summarized in the report.

Strengths

• Provides specific thickness measurements for multiple geological formations, such as 4750 feet of Devonian sediments.
• Describes a detailed geological sequence spanning from Pre-Cambrian basement to Tertiary deposits.
• Covers a defined geographical area corresponding to the Williambury and Moogooree one mile map sheets.

Limitations

• Data is presented in report format (PDF/HTML); column-level documentation for structured data is absent.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• Freshness should be verified; the last update timestamp is 2026-06-04, which is a future date.
