Abstract

On 28th September, 1954, West Australian Petroleum Pty. Ltd. forwarded a short length of core from a depth of about 3,880 feet in Cape Range Well No. 1. In hand specimen the rock is dark brownish grey in colour and is dense and tough. Fragments of wood and of a pelecypod shell are present. A micro-palaeontological examination of the rock yielded interesting information as to the age of the beds the well penetrated at this depth. This section of the rock and of the fragment of wood were cut, and portion of the rock was crushed in the hope of finding micro-fossils.
