Bathurst Geoscience Database (Revised version)

Abstract

GIS formatted datasets include geology, geochemical data, mineral occurrences, site notes, structural data, petrological data, fossil database, geochronology and photographic database; geophysical data (TMI, DTM, Ternary Radiometric and Landsat). Apart from the geophysical images, these datasets have not been updated during the 2012 upgrade of this Data Package. All other datasets remain current to the original date of publication (Jan. 1998). Contact Geospatial for more information. Covers six 1:100 000 sheets (Molong - 8631, Orange - 8731, Bathurst - 8831, Cowra - 8630, Blayney - 8730 and Oberon - 8830) Coverage across the Bathurst 1:250 000 sheet (Bathurst SI/55-8)

Comments

The GIS data contained in this Data Package was originally compiled for earlier (now unsupported) versions of ESRI & MapInfo GIS software. As a result, some of the customisation originally incorporated into these packages may not completely function in more recent ESRI & MapInfo GIS software. Also note that the GIS data in this package was compiled in 1998 using the now-superseded AGD66 datum but has been reprojected to the current (GDA94) datum as part of the October 2012 upgrade. This update includes: Reprojected GIS data (Transformed from AGD66 datum) to GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_55. Creation of MXD and PMF files for improved ESRI functionality. Updated workspaces for enhanced performance in more recent versions of Mapinfo. Creation of KMZ files for operability within Google Earth. Updated geophysical images Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI, 50m, 1VD RTP), Digital Elevation Model, Composite KUTh Radiometric, Landsat Image.
