Kalbarri is home to richly fossiliferous Cretaceous marine outcrops with diverse shark and marine reptile fauna, as well as early arthropod trackways in the Siluro-Ordovician Tumblagooda Sandstone. A day will be spent visiting various Cretaceous marine sites on Murchison House Station, with another day exploring the arthropod trackways in Kalbarri National Park.
