Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Bookpurnong | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Bookpurnong Fm, which unconformably overlies the Pata Limestone (Middle Miocene) and is region unconformaly overlain by the Norwest Bend Fm (Late Pliocene) in Murray Basin. AGE: earliest Late Miocene (Bairnsdalian-Mitchellian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale. | |||||
