Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 2nd edition (SRTM2) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Tomingley regolith-landforms map area. This model features 90 m pixels and is sunshaded from the northeast to enhance topographic features. The SRTM2 DEM is courtesy of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Derivative map of the Tomingley regolith-landforms map depicting all regolith-landform units with in situ or transported materials interpreted to have the same bedrock parent. Polygons with the same modifier number (see main legend) have been selected and coloured to indicate those areas that should have similar background geochemical characteristics.

Intensified RGB airborne gamma-ray spectrometric image of the Tomingley regolith-landforms map area. Potassium (K), thorium (Th) and uranium (U) gamma-ray emissions are represented as the colours red, green and blue respectively. The image has been intensified by adding the Total Counts as an intensity layer using ER Mapper software to highlight strong and weak gamma-ray emitters as bright or dark areas as well as in situ and transported regolith types with differing proportions of K, Th and U. Original data courtesy of the NSW Department of Primary Industry from the Northern Parkes Geoscience data set.

First vertical derivative (1VD) coloured and sunshaded aeromagnetic image of part of the Tomingley regolith-landforms map area from a high-resolution survey commissioned by Alkane Exploration Ltd. The image depicts broad roughly north-south striking structures related to bedrock geology and fractures that are overlain by short wavelength, high amplitude, curved and anastomosing near-surface features that have been interpreted as magnetic palaeochannels. Image courtesy of Alkane Exploration Ltd.

Aerial orthophoto mosaic of the Tomingley regolith-landforms map area used in the mapping program. Aerial photographs include Run 1 #0159 and Run 2 #0174 from the Peak Hill 1:100,000 topographic sheet, acquired at 1:50,000 scale by the New South Wales Department of Lands, 10th May 2004. Orthorectifica-tion was performed at CRC LEME, ANU, using ER Mapper software with camera parameters supplied by the NSW Land Information Centre, the Space Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 2nd release (SRTM2) Digital Elevation Model and ground control points collected with a hand-held GPS receiver during field work.

RLU key descriptions for the Tomingley regolith-landforms map
The alphanumeric regolith-landform unit (RLU) polygon codes provide a framework to present regolith materials, landforms and associated vegetation on the map sheet. RLU codes are designed to first list the broad regolith lithology in capital letter codes, then landforms in lower case codes. The modifier number following each alphabetic RLU code allows for discrimination of variations of the broader regolith-landform assemblages, in this case due to differing bedrock lithology based on the Narromine 1:250,000 geological map sheet of Sherwin (1996). The RLU codes are based largely on the interpretation of the dominant regolith-landform process responsible for their formation (i.e., genetic process) and follow the RTMAP scheme of Pain et al. (2000). Lithological and other RLU attributes are described in the attached legend and accompanying map report.
RLU codes for regolith materials depicted here are: RLU codes for landforms used here are: A Alluvial sediments ag alluvial gilgai depressions AC Alluvial channel sediments ah alluvial channel AO Alluvial overbank sediments ap alluvial plain (with numerous small drainage depressions) C Colluvial sediments aw alluvial swamp CH Colluvial sheetflow sediments ed erosional drainage depression F Fill ep erosional plain (0-9 m relief) SM Moderately weathered bedrock (saprolite) er erosional rise (9-30 m relief) SS Slightly weathered bedrock (saprock) el erosional low hill (30-90 m relief) fa alluvial fan m man-made pd depositional plain (with no significant drainage depressions)
RLU modifier codes used here reflect bedrock lithologies of Sherwin (1996) or regolith material sources are:1 Cotton Formation (O-Sc) sandstones and siltstones2 Mugincoble Chert (Om) 3 Goonumbla Volcanics (Obv) mafic lava and flow breccia4 Mumbidgle Formation (Sfm, Sfv) mudstone, siltstone and minor sandstone5 Dulladerry Volcanics (Dds, Ddr, Ddc) rhyolite and quartz porphyry6 Obley Granite (Dog)7 Hervey Group (Dh) quartz sandstones
