JURASSIC
Ironstone horizons in flat-lying sandstone of the Evergreen Formation consist of two distinct sub-units. A basal thick-bedded oolitic |
ironstone, and an upper unit of interlayered oolitic ironstone and limonitic sandstone. |
The oolitic ironstone at Dawsonvale is a sandy, clayey and oolitic sediment deposited in a shallow-inland sea . The deposits are generally |
a few metres thick and chert-poor, but are rich in phosphorous and aluminium. |
