Abstract
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.
