Drill cores from four bores in the Western Australian portion of the Eucla Basin and two bores in the South Australian portion reveal a sequence of over 1200 feet of Cretaceous mudstones, sandstones and greensands overlain by a maximum of 900 feet of Upper Eocene and Lower Miocene limestones. An unexpected thickness of 900 feet of post-Albian greensands and mudstones is present in Madura No. 1 bore. These are believed to be equivalent in part at least to the greensands of the Gingin District.
