The Garie Formation is a narrow band of sedimentary rocks occurring in the Sydney Basin in eastern Australia . This stratum is up to 8 metres thick, situated below the sandstones of the Newport Formation. Formed in the mid-Triassic, it is part of the Narrabeen Group of sedimentary rocks. Garie formation consists of layers of clay pellet sandstone, dark lithic particles, spotted volcanic deposits and chocolate coloured claystone bands.[1][2][3]
