Statement

SOURCE:

Generalised geology based on the 1:1 000 000 Geology of the Carpentaria and Karumba Basins accompanying Smart (1980), incorporating additional stratigraphic data from stratigraphic and petroleum exploration drilling (QDEX database 2012)


METHOD:

Scanned images were rectified within ArcGIS and vectorised into linework using the ArcScan toolset. Polygons were generated from the vectorised linework and were attributed with a lithology description which was used to symbolise the dataset.
