Requests from the mineral industry for immediate access to these interpreted datasets has resulted in the release of these Records as preliminary editions. Final editions will become available as report writing and drafting is completed. Each of the preliminary edition CD ROMs contains a report linked to a series of .pdf files which are designed for on-screen viewing using Adobe Acrobat. The .pdf files enable the client to view each of the interpreted measured sections, drill cores and seismic lines on the screen. The same suite of sections is also included as zipped .rtl plot files, from which the client can obtain colour hardcopy using HP colour plotters.
Maps provide the location of seismic lines, outcrop sections and drill holes.
The CD ROMS do not contain the primary digital data. Each section contains grain size, lithology, bed thickness, sedimentary structure and gamma ray data from which facies and sequence stratigraphic surfaces are interpreted. Two cross sections depict stratigraphic architecture between the Kamarga Dome in the northwest and Leichhardt West in the southeast. Two appendices are included. Appendix one outlines the gamma ray methodology.
