• ... that scientists don't know why the natural gas found in the Denison Trough often has a high concentration of carbon dioxide? Source: A number of gas accumulations in the Denison Trough contain unusually high concentrations of carbon dioxide...The source of the carbon dioxide in the Denison Trough has not been firmly established. However, the lack of significant quantities of carbon dioxide in gases from the Early Permian Reids Dome beds suggests that the carbon dioxide is not a product of high levels of thermal maturation. Paten and others (1979) have suggested that the carbon dioxide is a result of biodegradation and groundwater solution of calcareous facies in the Peawaddy Formation , Aldebaran Sandstone and Cattle Creek Formation", page 58
  • ALT1: ... that the concentration of carbon dioxide in some natural gas found in the Denison Trough is high enough to that processing it requires anti-corrosive facilities? Source: "Due to the high CO2 contents in the gas produced from the southern fields, infield dehydration facilities are installed to protect the gathering system and the gas plant from carbonic acid corrosion", page 96
  • ALT2: ... that the geological formations of Australia's inland Denison Trough record evidence of when the area was a shallow sea? Source: Many places, such as "Shallow marine conditions returned to the Denison Trough in the early Late Permian. The shales, siltstones, limestones and lithic sandstones of the Peawaddy Formation were deposited widely over the Denison Trough at this time. At the top of this unit, a distinctive coquinitic marker, the Mantuan Formation (formerly known as the Mantuan Productus Beds) occurs", page 12

• Length, age, QPQ look good. Image is public domain so that's good. A bit light on resources since it is very heavily reliant on two, but I think it meets the requirement. ALT2 is most interesting and unique. I think a map showing where this is, an infobox landform, and a couple more Google Scholar citations would be useful improvements to the article in general, but not required for the purposes here.
