PL 3171 - 23.5 km north of Highway l, north of Walpole. | Darragh T. A. (2011) | Pallinup Siltstone | The Werillup Formation is regarded as late Middle Eocene. This is supported by the presence of the Dasycladcian algae, Larvana and Neomeris (Cockbain 1969) and the foraminifer Asterocylinia (Cockbain 1967). The Pallinup Siltstone is of similar age, again from the presence of the nautiloid Aturia clarkei and foraminifer reported by Backhouse (1969), Cockbain (1968a) and Quilty (1969). The foraminifers correspond with Ludbrook's "Tortachilla microfauna" (Cockbain 1968c). | siltstone | 38 - 33.9 Ma Paleogene |
