Description
The Clermont 4-mile Sheet area in Queensland, Australia, exposes parts of three major structural units: the pre-Devonian Anakie Inlier, the Lower Carboniferous Drummond Basin, and the Permian to Triassic Bowen Basin. The dataset, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, is a geological report detailing rock formations, thicknesses, and igneous activity, last updated in April 2026. It likely contains detailed stratigraphic columns and geological maps for the region.
Use Cases
Stratigraphic correlation and modeling based on described rock sequences and thicknesses.
Structural geology analysis based on the described folds, unconformities, and major structural units.
Resource assessment for coal and other minerals based on the described coal measures and rock types.
Igneous petrology studies based on the described volcanics and intrusive rocks like the Theresa Creek and Peak Range Volcanics.
Strengths
Provides specific thickness estimates for geological units, such as 14,000 to 20,000 feet of Drummond Beds and an 800-foot thick coal seam.
Describes a complex geological history with clear temporal relationships (e.g., pre-Devonian to Triassic) and structural contacts (unconformities).
Details a wide variety of rock types and formations, including metamorphics, volcanics, sedimentary beds, and coal measures.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
Data is presented as a report (HTML/PDF); conversion to structured, machine-readable formats may be required.
Provenance
Source
Australian Ocean Data Network
Collection Method
Likely a geological field survey and report compilation.
Time Range
Covers geological formations from pre-Devonian to Tertiary periods.
