Published: 24 Feb 2011 Created: 19 Nov 2024 Revised: 05 Feb 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...

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. Linework modified and extended on desktop GIS into uninterpreted areas using geological data and interpretations from drillholes, geophysical surveys and other published reports and maps Revised Cambrian province outlines derived from dataset Solid Geology of South Australia, developed concurrently. Neoproterozoic: Revised province outlines derived from dataset Solid Geology of South Australia, developed concurrently Linework modified and extended on desktop GIS into uninterpreted areas using geological data and interpretations from drillholes, geophysical surveys and other published reports and maps. Middle to late Mesoproterozoic: Revised province outlines derived from dataset Solid Geology of South Australia, developed concurrently Linework modified and extended on desktop GIS into uninterpreted areas using geological data and interpretations from drillholes, geophysical surveys and other published reports and maps. Archaean to early Mesoproterozoic: Revised province outlines derived from dataset Solid Geology of South Australia, developed concurrently.
