Statement: Within the Rolling Downs group, boundaries were interpreted from wire-line logs (Habermehl 2001). Boundary data in the Laura Basin came from the 1:250K Geological Map series (Geoscience Australia, 2010). The possible extent of the Normanton Formation offshore was interpreted from minimal well information (Blake et.al. 1990). Extent and sub-basin elements of the Carpentaria Basin derived from McConachie et. Al. (1990), with the assumption that the extent follows the Jurassic sequence. South of approximately -17 degrees latitude, boundaries were derived from Habermehl and Lau (2011)
