Petrographical Rock Sample Study from Torquay to Airey's Inlet, Victoria

A petrographical study of sedimentary rock samples from the Janjukian and Anglesean deposits along the Victorian coast. The report includes a classification system for the rocks and contains results from a 1947 chemical analysis of a supposed jarosite sample, along with notes on glauconite occurrence. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying sedimentary rock types based on the petrographical examination described.
• Analyzing historical chemical composition data from the 1947 jarosite analysis.
• Studying the occurrence and origin of glauconite in coastal deposits as noted in the report.

Strengths

• Includes a specific chemical analysis from 1947.
• Rock samples are classified according to a defined system by M.A. Condon.
• Data is sourced from the authoritative organization Geoscience Australia.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific coastal section.
