Many of the areas mentioned above are joined by a continuous outcrop of the Gordon limestone despite tectonic disturbance and the fact that the limestone is readily soluble and thus tends to produce physiographically low belts. The Gordon limestone is generally underlain conformably by the West Coast Range conglomerate and overlain by rocks of the Eldon group, either conformably or with a possible disconformity. The West Coast Range conglomerate varies markedly in thickness and the Caroline Creek sandstones and Florentine shales probably represent two facies of the same formation. The marly sandstones of Adamsfield contain- ing the piloceroid and endoceroid fauna represent a facies variant of. Fig. 1.
