| Abstract: | The rocks in the Jenolan Caves area comprise early Palacozoic sediments and volcanics intruded by a few small igneous bodies. In the west the sediments are thought to be Silurian in age from lithological similarities with sediments of Silurian age elsewhere on the Capertee Geanticline. These are overlain by the Upper Silurian Jenolan Caves Limestone, a quite pure, fossiliferous limestone containing the reworked remains of stromatoporoids, corals, brachiopods, gastropods, nautiloids, and algae |
