• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Jimmy Creek Quartzite Member (Aorangi Mine Formation), Yapeenian (470.3 - 467.3 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Jimmy Creek Quartzite, the highest member of Aorangi Mine Fm, which overlies the Battery Mbr (Castlemanian-Yapeenian), and is overlain by the Slaty Creek Fm (Darriwilian).
