Author: Benbow, M.C.

Marla 1A and 1B reached 215.30 metres and 379.40 metres respectively, penetrating aeolian sands overlying the Bulldog Shale, Cadna-owie Formation an d Observatory Hill Beds. In contrast to Byilkaoora 1, oil shows and calcite pseudomorphs after evaporite minerals (shortite and trona) are absent and a 2-fold stratigraphic subdivision is recognised. A playa lake model has been proposed for the Cambrian sequence in Byilkaoora 1, but a marine depositional environment is here suggested for the Marla 1A and 1B carbonates; a NE-oriented, low-lying land barrier may have separated the two areas during the Cambrian.
