Two major sedimentary sequences are represented in the core of Bute DDH2. The younger sequence consists of crystalline dolomite with relict oolites and stromatolites in places and with basal sandstones, grits and conglomerate. The sandstones contain probable worm burrows. This sequence is probably best equated with the Lower Cambrian Kulpara Limestone and Mount Terrible Formation exposed nearby. The older sequence is a thinly bedded black shale - dolomite sequence with affinities with the lower parts of the Tapley Hill Formation. No fossils were found in it. It also closely resembles parts of the Woocalla Dolomite known from outcrop and drilling on the TORRENS mapsheet area.
