Bedrock Data Compilation

Bedrock Data Compilation

​We are compiling bedrock point data, such as outcrop descriptions, borehole locations and logs, and structural measurements, with the existing rock unit mapping. Tellus geophysics and geochemistry are used to guide re-interpretation, supported by field visits and borehole drilling as required. ​

Northeastern block

This data-package comprises 50k sheets 26, 27, 28, 34, and 35 and was published online as a free download in October 2016.
