This record contains geological notes on solid geology interpretation of 1:250 000 Sheet areas in the Northern Territory and Queensland. There are five layers in the dataset: Pre-Neoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Preparation of these layers involved figuratively peeling off successively older rocks and identifying and outlining the rocks thereby revealed. The notes provide comments on the rocks comprising each layer, and explain how the identity of the revealed rocks was arrived at where this is not obvious. The Cenozoic time slice was extracted from the 1:1M scale outcrop geology (Raymond et al., 2012) after removing the surficial deposits and without further interpretation.
