| Dry Creek Sands - Brooklyn Park Bore, Adelaide | Ludbrook N.H. (1955) | Dry Creek Sands | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Presumably unconformably underyling Pliocene Hallett Cove Sandstone (Pleistocene-Recent in Fig. 2 of Ludbrook 1954) The Dry Creek Sands are a correlate of the Bookpurnong Fm (Beu and Darragh 2001). THICKNESS: Typically the Dry Creek Sands are less than 200 ft thick based on Fig. 2 of Ludbrook (1954). AGE: Previously regarded as Pliocene in age (Ludbrook 1954, 1963). However more recent idependent assessments of foraminifera and dinoflagellates (Brown and Stephenson 1991; | sandstone | 11.608 - 5.333 Ma Miocene |
