Glenaulin clay (Miocene to of Australia)

Also known as sample I

Where: Victoria, Australia (37.9° S, 141.4° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 48.5° S, 146.0° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Glenelg Group, Miocene to Miocene (23.0 - 23.0 Ma)

• Mixed sample from polyzoal clays of the Glenaulin clay. Landslip, Allotment 14, Parish of Wataepoolan.

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, white, yellow claystone

• This unit consists predominantly of white to yellowish-grey polyzoal clays and marls containing occasional thin-shelled shelly fossils throughout. A thin, nodule-bearing, argillaceous limestone at the base contains an abundant, but poorly preserved, molluscan fauna.

Size class: mesofossils
