Australia: The Land Where Time Began

A biography of the Australian continent 

Calingiri

Blocks of silcrete occur on a major drainage divide. The contained flora is similar to that at Muradup - Eucalyptus, Lomatia and Apocynophyllum. A conglomerate underlies the silcrete, some of the silcrete blocks having ripple marks, like those at Stuart Creek in South Australia, though the fossils at Calingiri and Muradup are probably younger.
