Abstract
This record presents a data compilation and thematic maps for existing U–Pb age data for a range of methods and minerals for an area of northern Australia. The compilation includes 2240 age results from the Northern Territory, Queensland and selected areas of South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales. U–Pb age data was sourced from Geoscience Australia, the Northern Territory Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Queensland, the Geological Survey of Western Australia and the published scientific literature. Thematic maps have been created from the compiled dataset and show the spatial distribution and age trends of igneous crystallisation ages, maximum depositional ages and metamorphic ages across northern Australia. This work can be used as both a standalone dataset and in conjunction with other geological, geochemical, isotopic and geophysical datasets to better understand the geological evolution of northern Australia.
