Abstract

These data represent whole rock geochemical analyses from the OZCHEM Database. Each analysis includes a geographic location and a geological description, which includes the host stratigraphic unit, where known, and the lithology. Most samples have been collected by Geoscience Australia field parties. These data are a snapshot at the "Ending Date" of the current database entries and are also a subset of the full database managed by GA which includes data from Papua NewGuinea, Antarctica, Solomon Islands and New Zealand.

Series Information

Lineage

These datasets are derived directly from Geoscience Australia's corporate Oracle OZCHEM Whole Rock Geochemistry Database.Only data that is part of the current release of OZCHRON (Release - January 2000) is included. <p>An ASCII extraction of the database is generated as ASCII comma-delimited file of the main tables that are part of or used by the OZCHEM database. <p>An MS ACCESS database format is also replicated from the ORACLE database and uses the same table structure. <p>The spatial representation of this database in (ArcView and MapInfo format) is extracted and generated using ArcInfo GIS software to meet the published data standard within the Geoscience Australia <a href="http://www.ga.gov.au/standards/datadict.html">data dictionary</a>. The extraction of the spatial GIS datasets is done within ArcInfo using advanced AML code (ORACOV.AML) developed by Dmitar Butrovski, Geoscience Australia.
