The Cablac Limestone


Audley-Charles (1968) mapped the Cablac Mountain as massive shallow-water Cablac Formation and identified as Lower Miocene in age. and after few years, Carter et al (1976) and Charlton (2002) also identified following Audley-Charles’s interpretation.

Cablac Mountain Range is formed a massif limestone. It characterizes a thrust sheet stuck that dominated by Triassic to Paleogene limestone belong to the Gondwana and Australian-Margin Megasequence (Haig et al, 2007; Haig & McCartain, 2007).

The Cablac Mountain is composed of breccia as a rock fragment and clasts contain peloid  and

oolitic limestone of the Upper Triassic – Lower Jurassic (Haig et al, 2007).
