The McKinlay Sheet area was mapped during 1961 by the Great Artesian Basin Field Party of the Bureau of Mineral Resources. A conformable sequence reaching a thickness of about 3500 feet from the basal Cretaceous Longsight Sandstone to the ?Upper Cretaceous Winton Formation is present. West of Kynuna the Edkins Formation, of probable Tertiary age, was deposited in what may have been an earlier tributary of the ancestral Diamantina River.
