The Wiso Basin contains a sequence of near-horizontal Middle Cambrain to upper Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks. It is continuous with the Daly River Basin to the north, and with the Georgina Basin to the northeast and possibly the southeast. Most of the basin surface is a flat plain which has developed in semi-desert country. Some of the rock sequences of the basin imprecisely known because of poor outcrop. Cambrian to Ordovician sediments include five mappable rock units; disconformities and unconformities separate some units and may occur within the less well known ones. The basin sequences is thin in the northern and central parts (generally less than 500 m), but thickness southwards into the Lander Trough (up to 1000 m); farther south, the Cambrian to Ordovician sediments are faulted against the Arunta Block on the southern margin of the basin.
