The Geology of Australia dataset documents the distribution and age of major stratigraphic, intrusive and medium to high-grade metamorphic rock units of onshore Australia. The data set was compiled to use at the 1:5,000,000 scale. The units distinguished/mapped mainly represent stratigraphic supergroups, regional intrusive associations and regional metamorphic complexes. This dataset is a generalised version of the 1:2,500,000 scale Geology (GEOMET No. 2305).

<p>What lies beneath our feet? This 1:5 million scale map is a useful overview of Australia's geology displaying the major geological regions. The map shows mainly bedrock geology classified by mode of origin (eg. igneous) composition (eg. basic to ultrabasic) and age (eg. Tertiary). Large fault systems are also identified. <p>This map shows the distribution and age of major stratigraphic, intrusive and medium to high grade metamorphic units of onshore Australia. Units on the map represent stratigraphic supergroups, regional intrusive associations and regional metamorphic complexes. <p>Geoscience Australia also produces more detailed geological and geophysical maps. For more information refer to the Maps of Australia web page (link below). <p>Suitable for primary Years 5-6 and Secondary 7-12. <p>Product Specifications: Coverage: Australia Currency: 1997-99 Coordinates: Geographical Datum:AGD66 (GDA94 compliant at this scale) Projection: Simple Conic on two standard parallels 18S and 36S

Australian Diamond Deposits as of November 2006

National map which identifies Australia's major mines and mineral deposits by deposit type overlayed on a grey-scale magnetic image of the continent. Complements the 2nd edition AGSO-MCA map released in April 2000 (Catalog # 33045).

Two full-colour map sheets (at 1:5 million and 1:10 million scales) that show the continental extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and associated mineral deposits throughout the continent. These rocks have been assigned to 30 Magmatic Events (ME) ranging in age from the Early Palaeoproterozoic ~2455 Ma (ME 1) to the Early Cambrian ~520 Ma (ME 30). The presence and correlation of these Magmatic Events into five Major Crustal Elements and 28 provinces are represented in a Time-Space-Event Chart on Sheet 2. Enlarged inset maps on Sheet 1 provide in more detail the polygon and line data of certain regions, and other inset maps on Sheet 2 show the distribution of Proterozoic and Archaean rocks, mineral deposits and occurrences, and five Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). This national map supersedes two similar 'Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events' maps relating to Western Australia (2006; GeoCat 64813) and the Northern Territory-South Australia (2007; GeoCat 65257). A user guide to the map series is described in Geocat 66624. A georeferenced image of the map Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events (Sheet 1) is also provided. The image shows spatial distribution of Proterozoic (2500 Ma to 545 Ma) mafic-ultramafic magmatic events in Australia. The map illustrates for the first time, the continental extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and their associated mineral deposits. The image has been georeferenced using ESRI ArcGIS 9.3 software.
