Sedimentary Processes Age Data

A subset of the All Geochronology layer, comprising summary radiometric age results relating to sedimentary processes, with data derived from both Geoscience Australia (GA) and literature-compiled sources. Each result links to information about the sample, sample collection site, method of analysis, and the source publication information. A large proportion constrain the youngest detrital mineral component in order to provide a maximum estimate for the age of sediment deposition. These rarely reflect the true depositional age of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Full detrital provenance results are not available through this service. Complete analytical data for GA results are available from Geochron Delivery: http://www.ga.gov.au/geochron-sapub-web/.
