The base of the Otway Group, considered on seismic evidence to be the oldest in the region, is basal Cretaceous (early Neocomian age), and definitely not Late Jurassic. The Otway Group is thick, but has some marine influence intermittently throughout. The influence, however, is never more than very marginal marine, but estuarine and beach environments are entirely possible. The top Pretty Hill angular unconformity seen on seismic is interpreted to lie at 5340 in the well section at the base of the Aptian. The Sherbrook Group is extremely thin and may be incomplete. Overlying a probable unconformity, the basal Tertiary Dilwyn Formation is present.
