Petrographical Study of Janjukian and Anglesean Rock Samples from Victoria Coast

A petrographical report describes rock samples from the Janjukian and Anglesean deposits between Torquay and Airey's Inlet, Victoria. The report includes results from a rough chemical analysis conducted in 1947 on a sample of supposed jarosite and a note on glauconite occurrence. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Classifying sedimentary rocks based on the M.A. Condon classification system mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the chemical composition of jarosite samples based on the 1947 analysis results
• Studying the occurrence and origin of glauconite in coastal deposits as noted in the report

Strengths
