Sediments analysed from VB06 and VB07 are correlative with an early phase of the Garford Formation, either in the Middle Miocene or the Early Miocene. The environment of deposition appears to have been fairly open marine, or at least an estuarine setting that was open to the ocean. Sediments from VB09 and VB10 are correlative with the Eocene Pidinga Formation, possibly a Middle Eocene marine phase. The assemblage from VB08 is ambiguous but is probably Mesozoic, and thus a correlation with the Late Jurassic Polda Formation is indicated.
