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

The Carnarvon sedimentary basin in Australia is described across the Williambury and Moogooree one-mile map areas. The dataset details a stratigraphic sequence from Pre-Cambrian basement to Tertiary deposits, including Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Cretaceous, and Tertiary units with specific thicknesses. The description, provided by Geoscience Australia Data, covers structural geology, geological history, and physiography of the region.

Use Cases

• Modeling sedimentary basin stratigraphy based on described rock unit thicknesses and unconformities.
• Analyzing structural geology and tectonic history of the Carnarvon Basin region.
• Studying the process and extent of lateritisation in Tertiary time.
• Correlating regional geological units across the Williambury and Moogooree map sheets.

Strengths

• Detailed stratigraphic column with specific thicknesses provided (e.g., Devonian 4750 feet, Permian more than 8000 feet).
• Description includes structural geology, geological history, and physiography, offering a multi-faceted view.

Limitations

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