312 metres of Cainozoic overlie Precambrian bedrock : ABC Range Quartzite (312-587 metres) conformably overlying finer-grained Brachina Formation (587-682 metres). The drilling and former seismic data permitted reinterpretation of bedrock structure and topography and show the limit of subsurface Cambrian strata is more restricted than previously believed and complete Adelaidean succession may underlie the region. Eocene palaeochannels are preferentially entrenched into more easily erodible Brachina Formation and are infilled with fluvial sands (North Maslin Sand) and marginal-marine, tidal channel sands (South Maslin Sand).
