The lithology and microfauna are consistent with Dry Creek Sands, of Late Pliocene age. The dominant `Marginopora vertebralis population, suggests that local Late Pliocene marine temperatures were distinctly higher than the present regime in Gulf St Vincent; but it is inferred that conditions were not truly tropical, and not as warm as the early Middle Miocene climatic optimum.
