Geology of the Clermont 4-Mile Sheet Area in Queensland

Parts of three major structural units are exposed in the Clermont 4-mile Sheet area: the Anakie Inlier, Drummond Basin, and Bowen Basin. The description details specific rock formations, including the 14,000 to 20,000 feet thick Drummond Beds and an estimated 3,500 feet of Upper Bowen Coal Measures. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Stratigraphic correlation and modeling based on described rock sequences and thicknesses.
• Structural geology analysis based on the described major units, unconformities, and folds.
• Resource assessment for coal based on the described coal measures and seam thicknesses.
• Igneous petrology studies based on the described volcanic and intrusive rock suites.

Strengths

• Description provides specific thickness estimates for formations, such as 14,000-20,000 feet for Drummond Beds.
• Details multiple geological time periods from pre-Devonian to Tertiary.
• Identifies specific rock types and structural features like the broad syncline.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is presented as PDF/HTML reports, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
