Mesozoic Strata of the Calvert Hills 1:250,000 Sheet

Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological record of Lower Cretaceous strata from the Calvert Hills 1:250,000 sheet area. The data is based on field observations of lithologies and fossil collections made during the 1961 field season. The record suggests sediments were deposited in distinct environments at three different times in the Lower Cretaceous.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing paleoenvironments based on described lithologies and fossil content.
• Analyzing stratigraphic sequences based on field observations of rock layers.
• Studying the distribution of Lower Cretaceous depositional environments in the Calvert Hills region.

Strengths

• Data is based on direct field observations from a dedicated 1961 field season.
• Analysis includes fossil identification to support environmental interpretations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
