Phillips-Sunray Buckabie No.1 Well: Lower Cretaceous Foraminifera and Lithology

Lower Cretaceous marine sequences from a well drilled to 9,070 feet in southwestern Queensland. The dataset contains lithological and micropalaeontological analysis of cuttings from 80 to 3,310 feet and specific core samples, detailing the first appearances of foraminiferal species and Inoceramus prisms. This report establishes a section of the Lower Cretaceous sequence in the Great Artesian Basin.

Use Cases

• [Stratigraphic correlation] based on the first appearance of foraminiferal species and Inoceramus prisms
• [Lithological analysis] based on described cuttings and core samples from specific depth intervals
• [Basin evolution studies] based on the determined Lower Cretaceous sequence in the Great Artesian Basin
• [Biostratigraphic dating] based on the identified microfossil assemblages

Strengths

• Provides specific depth measurements for the examined interval (80 to 3,310 feet) and total well depth (9,070 feet)
• Identifies key biostratigraphic markers, including specific foraminiferal species and Inoceramus prisms
• Examines discrete core samples from three specific depth ranges, offering detailed point data

Limitations

• No column names or row counts are provided, limiting understanding of the data structure
• Metadata for license, author, and exact data size is consistently missing across all sources
• The 'last updated' dates (2026) are future dates, indicating potential metadata errors
