Where: Victoria, Australia (35.7° S, 144.8° E: paleocoordinates 35.7° S, 144.8° E)
When: D Clay Formation, Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• The age of the "D Clay" has yet to be established, although it is certainly late Pleistocene in age and probably in the order of 25,000-40,000 yr B.P. (J. M. pers. comm.). The material described here as the Dry Creek Local Fauna was col- lected from the "D Clay".
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; claystone
Size class: macrofossils
