Published: 24 Feb 2011 Created: 19 Nov 2024 Revised: 27 Mar 2025

Location and extent of geological provinces of South Australia. Its major use is in mineral exploration, but contributes to basic geological understanding of South Australia in conjunction with companion datasets of Geological Provinces of South...

Cambrian to late Carboniferous (540 - 300 million years old): Arrowie Basin; Boorthanna Trough; Darling Basin; Delamerian and post-Delamerian intrusive rocks; Kanmantoo Province; Levenger Graben; Moorilyanna Graben; Officer Basin (Cambrian-Devonian); Stansbury Basin and Warburton Basin.

Cainozoic: Originally sourced from hardcopy map Middle Palaeozoic to Cainozoic Basins of South Australia, 1:7000000, 1993, which was manually digitised and geological linework for relevant provinces imported into desktop GIS. Updated using digital data used to produce hardcopy map Tertiary Palaeodrainage of South Australia, 1:2000000, 2nd edition, 2000, for Eucla Basin, Billa Kalina Basin, Hamiltion Basin. Jurassic to Cretaceous: Originally sourced from hardcopy map Middle Palaeozoic to Cainozoic Basins of South Australia, 1:7000000, 1993, which was manually digitised and geological linework for relevant provinces imported into desktop GIS. Updated using in-house interpretations for Bight Basin and Otway Basin. Late Carboniferous to Triassic: Originally sourced from hardcopy map Middle Palaeozoic to Cainozoic Basins of South Australia, 1:7000000, 1993, which was manually digitised and geological linework for relevant provinces imported into desktop GIS.Updated using in-house interpretations for Cooper Basin, Pedirka Basin, Simpson Basin and Nadda Basin. Cambrian to late Carboniferous: Originally sourced from hardcopy map Middle Palaeozoic to Cainozoic Basins of South Australia, 1:7000000, 1993, which was manually digitised and geological linework for relevant provinces imported into desktop GIS.
