Tertiary Marine Rock Stratigraphy in Gippsland, Victoria

A geological bulletin presents detailed studies of the Tertiary marine sequence in Gippsland, Victoria. The information was obtained from scout drilling by Victorian and Commonwealth Governments and wildcat drilling by private companies. The results have implications for regional stratigraphy, palaeogeography, and the search for oil in Australia.

Use Cases

• Correlating regional stratigraphy based on detailed local sequence studies mentioned in the description
• Informing palaeogeographic reconstructions based on the Tertiary marine rock analysis
• Supporting oil exploration assessments in Australia based on the described geological results

Strengths
