Immediately west of the Argyle White Quarry. Fine grained white laminated sandstone, much softer than the overlying Argyle White sandstone. In the early 1990's, a small quarry 30 metres by 12 metres by 3 metres deep was developed on flat lying white and pale coloured sandstone beds 0.3 to 7 metres thick. 550 tonnes was extracted, and sent to Broome for a major landscaping project.
