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

Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological record describing the stratigraphy and structure of the Williambury and Moogooree one-mile map areas. The description details a sequence from Pre-Cambrian basement to Tertiary deposits, including specific thicknesses for Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, and other rock units. The record was last updated on 2026-03-25.

Use Cases

• Modeling sedimentary basin evolution based on described stratigraphic thicknesses and unconformities.
• Analyzing geological structure and faulting patterns based on the account of structural geology.
• Studying paleoenvironmental changes from the described marine, freshwater, and laterite deposits.
• Correlating regional geology using the detailed lithological and chronological framework.

Strengths

• Provides specific stratigraphic thicknesses, such as 4750 feet of Devonian and 8000+ feet of Permian rocks.
• Describes a complete geological history from Pre-Cambrian to Tertiary periods.
• Includes detailed observations on features like a silicified cap ranging up to 30 feet thick.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
