Two cores from Oodnadatta Town Bore No. 2 were examined for microfossils. A fishing core at about 72m is of Late Albian to ?Conomanian age and is correlated with the Mount Alexander Sandstone Member of the Oodnadatta Formation in Santos Oodnadatta No. 1 Well. It is of marginal marine aspect. Core 1 at 431.4m is non-marine and earliest Cretaceous in age. If the rock unit is to be equated with the Algebuckina Sandstone, then an upwards extension of the age of the formation is indicated.
