A proximal pedal phalanx from an indeterminate theropod has been recovered from the formation,[1][2] alongside a jaw fragment of a pterosaur.[3] Fossils of a mosasaur, cf. Platecarpus sp. were also reported from the formation.[4] See also{{portal|Geology|Cretaceous|Western Australia|Prehistory of Oceania}}
