Description

"The Wilton package consists of widely distributed siliciclastic sedimentary and minor igneous rocks near the top of the greater McArthur Basin sedimentary succession. This report collates and combines historical and newly acquired field-based data in order to characterise all sedimentary units within: the three groups of the Wilton package: the Roper Group (McArthur Basin), Tijunna Group (Birrindudu Basin) and Renner Group (Tomkinson Province); an unnamed group overlying the Wilton package (Roper Group) in the Beetaloo Sub-basin; this comprises the informally named Jamison sandstone and Hayfield mudstone." - Abstract,
