Explanatory notes on layered geology maps, eastern Queensland 2020-2022
<div>Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to net zero emissions, strong, sustainable resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.</div><div><br></div><div>This record contains geological notes on layered geology interpretation of twenty-nine 1:250 000 Sheet areas in eastern Queensland. The geology maps generated as part of this work were not released as a separate product but incorporated into the national layered geology product of Sanchez et al. (2024). There are five layers interpreted; pre-Neoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Preparation of these layers involved figuratively peeling off successively older rocks and identifying and outlining the rocks thereby revealed. The notes provide comments on the rocks comprising each layer, and explain how the identity of the revealed rocks was arrived at where this is not obvious. The Cenozoic time slice was extracted from the 1:1 000 000 scale outcrop geology (Raymond et al., 2012) after removing the surficial deposits and without further interpretation. </div>

- Purpose
-
This Record is a set of explanatory notes for layered geology interpretation for twenty-nine 1:250 000 Sheet areas in eastern Queensland and form part of the work to generate the Layered Geology of Australia (Sanchez et al 2024). The explanatory notes provide comments on the rocks comprising each of the five layers interpreted (pre-Neoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic), and explain how the identity of the revealed rocks was arrived at where this is not obvious, largely using potential field and borehole data.
