Abstract
This metadata encompasses the shape file found in the "basins" directory of the CD-ROM. This file is sed_basins.shp. This dataset provides outlines and names of Australian sedimentary basins and sub-basins onshore and offshore (clipped to the GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDING BOX), compiled as part of Geoscience Australia marketing activities aimed at encouraging further exploration of Australian oil and gas reserves.

Lineage
Basin outlines were digitised in Arcinfo from the 1:2 500 000 Geological Map of Australia in 1992. Their boundaries were updated in Petroseis in 1994 by adding some offshore basins and sub-basins from the unpublished Tectonic Elements of Australia map. The 1996 update of the sedimentary basins data set included: bringing changes made to the offshore basins in 1994 into the Arcinfo coverage, further editing the offshore basin boundaries, adding volcanic provinces of the continental margin and classifying basin boundaries into basins, sub-basins and coastline. The final shapefile was clipped to the GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDING BOX previously mentioned.
