Where: Queensland, Australia (19.5° S, 138.9° E: paleocoordinates 26.8° N, 172.6° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Ptychagnostus atavus trilobite zone, Inca Formation, Floran (504.5 - 503.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Inca Fm, which is a correlative of the CUrrant Brush Lmst, and overlies the Thorntonia Lmst and Beetle Creek Fm (Middle Cambrian), and is overlain by the V Creek Lmst (Middle Cambrian).
