Two groups of samples from Eyre Peninsula have been analysed. The Elliston samples are correlative with the Polda Formation, probably in the latest Middle Jurassic. The younger Middle Eocene E04-1 sample indicates the presence of Pidinga Formation, and is in keeping with previous observations of Alley (1996). The presence of Triorites magnificus in the V09-1 palynofloras indicates a Late Eocene age and sediments correlative with the Pidinga Formation. A poor yield for the V07-1 sample has meant that here only a tentative Miocene age can be assigned, based on palynofloras from older sediments dated by Alley (1996).
