Lower Cretaceous Foraminifera from a Queensland Well, Great Artesian Basin

A geological report on the Lower Cretaceous sequence from the Phillips-Sunray Buckabie No.1 well in southwestern Queensland. The study examines cuttings from 80 to 3,310 feet and three cores to determine the sequence based on lithology and fossil appearances. The data was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Stratigraphic correlation based on the first appearance of foraminiferal species mentioned in the description
• Reconstructing paleoenvironments based on lithology and fossil content described in the report
• Calibrating regional geological timelines based on the identified Lower Cretaceous sequence

Strengths

• Report covers a specific depth interval from 80 to 3,310 feet, considered the base of the marine Lower Cretaceous
• Examination includes cuttings and three specific core intervals, providing multiple sample types

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, not in a structured, machine-readable format
