Description
Summary:Maintenance and Update Frequency: annually Statement: Source: The data was collected by Geoscience Australia staff from scientific literature and reports from Government, industry and academia. Form: This collection consists of the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database and associated bibliographic information. This Collection record was created to enhance the discoverability and management of the individual products contained in the collection. See the individual eCat records for product specific lineage. Purpose The lexicon standardises terminology for geologic units, thereby enabling integration of different geologic studies and datasets. The national standard lexicon of geologic units, including: age, lithology, geologic relationships for all Australian geological units, and a record of their use in literature. Links to Geological Provinces and Geological Maps. The collection is maintained by Geoscience Australia on behalf of the Australian Stratigraphy Commission, a standing committee of the Geological Society of Australia. Value: The lexicon standardises terminology for geologic units, thereby enabling integration of different geologic studies and datasets. Scope: Covers all Australian Territories, including Australia's Antarctic Territories. The database contains over 17,500 current stratigraphic names and over 36,000 variations, most of which are superseded, obsolete, or misspelt versions of the current names. The publicly accessible portion of this collection is made available through the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database (ASUD), the national authority on stratigraphic names in Australia and can be accessed here: https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/21884
