Capsule Geology

A lens of Permian limestone of the Devonian to Triassic Harper Ranch Group trends southwestward from Creighton Valley for 1.6 kilometres, 6.4 kilometres southeast of Lumby.

The lens, 180 metres wide, contains medium to fine-grained, light grey to white, highly fractured limestone with discontinuous lenses of white chert and veinlets of white quartz.

A sample of chips collected randomly from the top of the lens assayed 53.07 per cent CaO, 0.26 per cent MgO, 4.02 per cent insolubles, 0.30 per cent R2O3, 0.26 per cent Fe2O3, 0.04 per cent MnO, 0.02 per cent P2O5, trace of sulphur, 42.16 per cent ignition loss and 0.10 per cent water (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1961, page 148, Sample 11).
