Location: | 494956. Coopers Creek. | |
Access: | Coopers Creek Road. | |
Ownership: | Crown Land | |
Geology/Geomorphology: | This small, abandoned quarry exposes two tilted megaclasts of limestone enclosed in structureless siltstone of the Boola Formation. | |
Significance: | Regional. This is one of several limestone lenses occurring in the Boola Formation. It is the largest occurring in the Coopers Creek area and has recently been stratigraphically re-defined. | |
Management: | The quarry is almost totally overgrown by blackberries and, consequently, exposures are poor. The value of the site would be greatly enhanced by removal of the obscuring vegetation. |
