    The petrophysics dataset contains petrophysical (rock physical properties) data acquired by the Geological Survey of NSW. It stores measurements of samples and mapping sites collected under the Field Observations database, including from drillholes. It currently covers the following techniques: mass properties, electrical, radiometric, seismic rock physics, magnetic susceptibility and magnetic remanence. It contains raw readings and calculated results, from field and laboratory environments. Vector and tensor magnetic properties (remanence and anisotropic magnetic susceptibility (AMS)) are oriented to in-situ (geographic) and fold-corrected (stratigraphic) co-ordinates where sample and bedding orientation are known.

    Many airborne surveys have been acquired by the NSW government through the NSW Exploration, Discovery 2000 and New Frontiers Initiative funding. Others have been acquired jointly with Geoscience Australia (formerly AGSO). Contained within this vector file are details on each of the surveys and some acquisition parameters, which will help locate survey data stored digitally.

    The Field Observations (FieldObs) database stores observations and measurements of rocks collected by the Geological Survey of NSW. Includes location information, stratigraphic unit, links to mineral occurrence and drill hole data, photo and sketch captions, structural measurements and observations, lithology and rock descriptions, sample collection information, and petrophysical measurements (magnetic susceptibility, radioelement and density).

    The Geochemistry (Whole Rock) data set contains information about the chemistry of rocks sampled in New South Wales and held by the Geological Survey of NSW (GSNSW). The data has been captured from analyses conducted by the GSNSW and from other work including academic research & collaborative projects, mineral exploration reports and geoscientific publications. The database contains geochemical analyses on nearly 27,000 rock samples which have been collected from field work and drilling activities which date back to the nineteenth century. There are also a small number of assay & hydro-geochemical results. It is an important dataset as the whole rock analysis of rocks for major and trace elements allows classification of the lithology of a rock and provides insight into the conditions in which the rocks formed as well as their economic potential.
