| Title: | Rock property dataset of the Northern Territory |
| Report id: | DIP013 |

| Abstract: | The Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) has undertaken a Territory-wide compilation of rock property data focussing on the key properties of magnetic susceptibility, bulk density, grain density, porosity, velocity and permeability. This DIP is a compilation of rock property measurements sourced from open file company reports, core sampling reports, government publications, academic publications and new measurements made by NTGS. In this release petrophysical data for 17 diamond drillholes were added. In 2023 NTGS started collecting propagation velocity of compressional longitudinal wave (Vp) using a handheld instrument (Surfer UK1401- Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester.) The Vp is measured by timing an ultrasonic pulse over 15 cm of unbroken rock. |
