Lake Macdonnell bore A.A.10W (total depth 150 feet) intersected a Quaternary sequence consisting of a thin salt crust and lime sand (Recent, marine), Yamba Formation (Recent to Pleistocene, gypsiferous, lagoonal), Bridge-water Formation, upper member (Pleistocene, aeolianitic), and Bridgewater Formation, lower member (Pleistocene, ?littoral marine). This sequence tests and broadly supports part of the framework of South Australian Quaternary units recently developed by J.B. Firman. The distribution in the bore of 49 species of foraminifera is recorded and related to the units recognized.
