Layer 05 Great Artesian Basin base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface (GABWRA)

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. \n\n\n\nLayer 05 Base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface\n\n\n\nSurface produced for the Great Artesian Water Resource Assessment (GABWRA) by Geoscience Australia (http://www.ga.gov.au). This surface was created for 3D visualisation of the Hooray Sandstone and Equivalents.\n\n\n\nThe surface is available in the following formats\n\n1. GOCAD surface (.ts)\n\n2. ESRI grid\n\n3. ASCII grid (.grd)\n\n\n\nUse limitations: \n\n1. GOCAD surface requires program capable of reading GOCAD \\*.ts (triangulated surface) files\n\n2. ASCII grid data requires re-interpolation by end-user resulting in minor differences to accompanying GOCAD \\*.ts surface\n\n\n\nThis layer is part of a set comprised of:\n\nLayer 01 3-second Digital Elevation Model surface (catalogue \\#75990)\n\nLayer 02 Base of Cenozoic surface (catalogue \\#75991)\n\nLayer 03 Base of Mackunda Formation and equivalents surface (catalogue \\#76021)\n\nLayer 04 Base of Rolling Downs Group surface (catalogue \\#76022)\n\nLayer 05 Base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface (catalogue \\#76023)\n\nLayer 06 Base of Injune Creek Group surface (catalogue \\#76024)\n\nLayer 07 Base of Hutton Sandstone surface (catalogue \\#76025)\n\nLayer 05-07 Base of Algebuckina Sandstone surface (catalogue \\#76952)\n\nLayer 08A Base of Evergreen and Marburg formations (catalogue \\#76026)\n\nLayer 08B Base of Poolowanna Formation (catalogue \\#76953)\n\nLayer 09 Base of Precipice Sandstone and equivalents surface (catalogue \\#76027)\n\nLayer 10 Base of Jurassic-Cretaceous sequence surface (catalogue \\#76028)\n\n\n\nThis dataset and associated metadata can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au, using catalogue number 76023.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nSOURCE DATA: \n\nStratigraphic well picks were sourced from PEPS-SA (South Australian Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources & Energy, 2011) and QPED (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2010) and GABLOG (Habermehl 2001) databases. Previous interpretations of Base Hooray came from DERM (2005). Top of Westbourne contours came from Senior and associates (1997). In the offshore Carpentaria Basin, the western extent of the equivalent of the Hooray sandstone was taken from McConachie and Stainton 1994.\n\n\n\nBOUNDARIES: \n\nThe layer boundary was modified from Habermehl and Lau (1997)/Welsh (2000).\n\n\n\nPROCESSING: \n\nFor details on data processing, refer to "The three-dimensional visualisation of the Great Artesian Basin: A report to the Australian Government from the CSIRO Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment" Nelson, G. et. al 2012\n\n\n\nREFERENCES:\n\nSee http://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/gcat_76023\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nGeoscience Australia (2013) Layer 05 Great Artesian Basin base of Hooray Sandstone and equivalents surface (GABWRA).
