STR-2, on the Padthaway Ridge, near Monster Mount, Keith district, penetrated a Cainozoic sequence approximately 88 m thick resting on bed-rock of weathered quartz-feldspar porphyry. ?Coomandook Formation (8-28 m, ?Early Pleistocene) 1s distinguished from ?Loxton Sands (28-42 m, Early Pliocene, with Crespinella umbonifera and significant planktonic species). Ettrick Formation (42-73 m, Oligocene) and Buccleuch Beds (73-?88 m, Late Eocene) underlie the mid-Tertiary unconformity. Comparisons are made with the sequence to bedrock 1n a bore 14.5 km to the north-northwest, previously studied and now revised.
