Lower Cretaceous foraminifera from Phillips - Sunray Buckabie No. 1 well, Queensland

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Phillips-Sunray Buckabie No.1 Well, situated 29 miles north of Quilpie, SW Queensland and was drilled to the depth of 9,070 feet. This report covers the examination of cuttings from 80 feet down to 3,310 feet which was considered to be the base of the marine Lower Cretaceous section. Core 1 at 1,123' 8-1,136' 6, core 3 at 3,264' - 3,264' 6 and core 8 at 5,518' - 5,537 were also examined. From the study of the lithology and of the first appearance of certain foraminiferal species and of Inoceramus prisms in the downward sequence, a fairly complete section of the Lower Cretaceous sequence in this south-western part of the Great Artesian Basin in Queensland has been determined.
