Description
Summary:Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: These data are a collection of over 700,000 geological observations and samples from field sites, measured sections and boreholes, derived mainly from Geoscience Australia's mapping programs since the 1960's with additional contributions from Universities and State Surveys. Purpose Store and manage field geological data The Geoscience Australia Geological Observations and Samples database contains locations, geological observations, and descriptions of physical samples (specimens) from field sites, measured sections and boreholes associated with Geoscience Australia geological mapping surveys in Australia, its surrounds, and Antarctica since the 1960's. Descriptions include information on lithology, stratigraphy, alteration, structural measurements, and many other geological attributes.
