The Kussak Formation consists of thinly bedded sandstones, siltstone, silty shales, high fossiliferous shales, mudstones, silty-sandy dolomites to limestones, sandstones and a band of pisolitic/stromatolitic limestone. The formation as shown is 68.28m thick and consists of 39 major beds and 231 micro beds. The average percentage of shale is 45.37%, sandstone is 46.28% and carbonate is 8.33%. The average clastic ratio is 10.99.
