“ Just a couple of hundred yards on the Maryborough side of the Copenhagen 
Bend, in a quarry, are showing thirty feet of grey sandstone, containing the ordinary 
fossils met with in these beds, and also numerous casts of Belemnites.* Below this is a 
thin bed of carbonaceous sandstone, and below this again fifty feet of brown and grey 
sandstones (fossiliferous), dip 9° IST. 35° E. Just in the centre of the bend, in a small 
gully cut into the steep bank of the river, are exposed : — 
Horizontal sandstone, consisting of small quartz crystals

Soft argillaceous sandstone

“These beds, it will be noticed, dip in the same direction, and have about the same 
angle of inclination as the coal-bearing beds of Saltwater Creek and the Burmin Eiver ; 
and as they are not seen again beyond this point, it is possible that there is a fault 
between them and the Burrum Series. Similar sandstones, too, with the characteristic 
fossils of the Maryborough Beds, are mot with in the Isis Eiver, about a quarter of a 
mile south-west of the Maryborough and Bundaberg Eoad, with a dip of from 30 to 
45° to B. 40° N. These beds, whieh overlie the coal strata, can be traced for about 
^ mile up a gully running into the Isis about half a mile higher up, but are not met with 
m the river again.
