Author: Ludbrook, N.H.

The four stratigraphic wells completed in the Eucla Basin within 20 miles of the Hughes and Denman Railway Sidings intersected a sequence of Tertiary, Lower Cretaceous, probable Palaeozoic, and possibly some Proterozoic rocks. The ages of the dolomite and red beds in which drilling ceased is not known with certainty. In the absence of any palaeontological data, an attempt has been made to present mineralogical evidence on which correlation with known red bed sequences can be based.
