Brief description

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 (AGSOCAT No. 314111)

Statement: The 1:5 000 000 Geology of Australia dataset was generalised from the 1:2 500 000 scale dataset.
