Extract

THE basement platform of Southern Eyre Peninsula consists of a series of igneous and metamorphic rocks of pre-Cambrianage. Rising from beneath the Mesozoic and Tertiary strata of the Nullarbor plains, they may be regarded as a south-easterly prolongation of the great pre-Cambrian Shield of Western Australia. The platform is for the most part within a few hundred feet of sea-level, and large areas of the region are covered by the products of long-continued weathering of the older rocks or by siliceous deposits of late Tertiary age. The best sections for geological study are those exposed along the coastline, and in the hilly areas of Hutchison and Warrow.
