Eocene paralic lignitic sands of a maximum known thickness of 380 feet occur in Cummins and Wanilla Basins. A thin deposit of mid-Tertiary limestone occurs at Fishery Bay. Pliocene limestones transgress on to Archaean basement at Fishery Bay and are exposed in creeks in the Hundred of Poynton 12 to 20 miles south west of Whyalla. At least 80 feet of Pleistocene sandy clays underlie aeolianite at Sleaford Mere.
