Geology of the Clermont 4-Mile Sheet Area, Queensland

A geological description of the Clermont 4-mile Sheet area in Queensland, detailing the stratigraphy and structural units. The description covers pre-Devonian to Triassic rock formations, including thickness estimates for units like the 14,000 to 20,000-foot Drummond Beds and the 800-foot Blair Athol Coal Measures. The data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Stratigraphic correlation based on described rock sequences and unconformities.
• Structural geology analysis based on the described folds, synclines, and major structural units.
• Resource assessment for coal based on the described thickness and location of coal measures.
• Igneous petrology studies based on the described volcanics and intrusive rocks like the Peak Range Volcanics.

Strengths

• Description provides specific thickness estimates for geological units, such as 14,000 to 20,000 feet for the Drummond Beds.
• Details multiple major structural units (Anakie Inlier, Drummond Basin, Bowen Basin) and their relationships.
• Includes specific rock type descriptions, such as 'quartz mica schist' and 'andesite and trachyandesite flows'.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au.
