The first foraminifera reported from the Polda Basin are in highly carbonaceous glauconitic clays palynologically dated middle-upper Eocene. The microfauna comprises, sparse and stunted marine benthonic forms whose origin and mode of association with the sediment are discussed. Microfaunas first found in the Cummins and Wanilla Basins in 1958 by N.H. Ludbrook are more diverse but still restricted marine. The planktonic component has been re-studied and some more precise ages can be deduced including Upper Eocene, and late Eocene/early Oligocene.
