Late Syn-rift
Early Syn-rift
 Early Syn-rift (Bonaparte Megasequence)

• Cockatoo Supersequence
Major transgressive continental to shallow marine succession.
Basal alluvial fan, alluvial plain conglomerate & sandstone as border basin in the south
Basinward (northward) into fluvial, deltaic & shallow marine sandstone, shale & dolostone

• Ningbing Supersequence
Reef complex. Contains flat-lying carbonate platformal facies, steeply-dipping marginal slope
carbonates, gently-dipping to flat-lying basinal shale with minor pelagic & detrital carbonates

• Langfield Supersequence
Shallow shelf carbonate transgressive system tract & upper progradational shoreline
silisiclastic highstand system tract.
 • Transgressive succession (sequences Mill A1-6)
Late Syn-rift (Milligans Supersequence) • Maximun Flooding Surface (sequences Mill A7)
• HST (sequences Mill A7-8)
 Post-rift

• Tanmura Supersequence
• Point Spring Supersequence
• Kuriyipi Supersequence
• Treachery Sequence
• Keyling Supersequence
• Fossil Head – Hyland Bay Supersequence
• Mount Goodwin – Cape Londonderry Supersequence

• Plover Supersequence
• Flamingo Supersequence
• Bathrust Supersequence
