Offshore Tasmania Micropalaeontology and Palynology Data from Wells

A compilation of open file micropalaeontology and palynology data from offshore wells on the continental margin of Tasmania. The bulk of data was supplied by Alan Partridge, with the remainder from WCR's. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.

Use Cases

• Conduct biostratigraphic analysis based on micropalaeontological and palynological data.
• Study paleoenvironmental conditions based on fossil assemblages from offshore wells.
• Correlate geological formations based on compiled microfossil data from the Tasmanian margin.

Strengths

• Data compilation focuses on a specific geographic region: the offshore continental margin of Tasmania.
• The dataset aggregates data from multiple sources, including contributions from named individuals.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data freshness should be verified as the last update is scheduled for 2026-07-22.
