Stratigraphy
Local section:Kimberley Lower Permian Marl Local bed:11
Local order:bottom to top
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: A 4-foot-thick Permian breccia overlies, unconformably, Carboniferous Coal measure Sandstone. This is overlain by alternating sandstones and shales of the Lower Permian Marl, containing ill-preserved plant remains. The top of the cutting exposes the Lower Magnesium Limestone, which here is arenaceous and gritty, obsuring a clear demarcation between this and the lower Permian marl.
