49 samples of calcareous sediments from the Bridgewater Formation, Glanville Formation and St Kilda Formation, collected along the west coast of Eyre Peninsula were examined in thin section. Factors such as the extent of recrystallization and the ratio of calcium and magnesium in framework and matrix material are assessed as indicators of relative age. 4 of the samples were analysed by XRD to check mineralogical interpretations and 2 were analysed for sylvite content. Some lithological and pedological features may be misleading and field relationships are more reliable indicators of age.
