Facies variations in the Woocalla Formation and their relation to base metal mineralization.
Metal sulphides occurring in dolomitic mud and silt facies (Sweet Nell type deposits) were probably deposited in a supratidal environment, where the dolomitic shale facies with Cu mineralization probably originated closer inshore, while Pb, Zn...-

Genesis of Mount Gunson copper deposits.
2 main types of copper deposit are recognized. 1 of these is of low grade, near the base of the laminite sequences in the Woocalla Dolomite, probably of syngenetic origin, and is believed to be the oldest and primary kind of deposit. (Gully, MG 14...-
