Yardinna no. 1 well, drilled 20 miles NW of Oodnadatta township intersected the Lower Cretaceous Oodnadatta Formation and bottomed at 512 feet in Bulldog shale also of early Cretaceous age. Both the Coorikiana Sandstone Member, the basal unit of the Oodnadabta Formation, and the Wooldridge Limestone Member, a younger unit of the same formation were outlined by gamma ray and neutron logs. A correlation of litho-stratigraphic units from Yardinna no. 1 situated on the western margin of the Great Artesian Basin, with wells from the deeper basin area is presented. It is suggested that the nomenclature adopted for the Oodnadatta 1:250 000 geological sheet be retained for subsurface units of the Great Artesian Basin for SA.
