Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

A new rock unit, the Bullara Limestone, is proposed for a Late Oligocene bioclastic limestone, which is probably restricted to the subsurface of Rough Range. The Bullara Limestone is a lateral equivalent of the lower part of the Mandu Calcarenite, and contains a Tertiary lower e stage larger foraminiferal fauna and a Zone N.3 planktic fauna.
