Coordinates: 30.7° South, 139.2° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:17.4° North, 161.2° West
Basis of coordinate:stated in text
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Cambrian Epoch:Series 2
Stage:Stage 3 10 m.y. bin:Cambrian 2
Key time interval:Atdabanian
Age range of interval:521.00000 - 515.60000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Wilkawillina Limestone Member:Winnitinny Creek
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: the paper discussed that the Winnitinny Creek member should be equivalent to the base of the Stage 3, which equals to the beginning of Atdabanian.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Environment:lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal
Geology comments: succession of massive carbonate, bioclastic grainstones alternating with micritic and microbial laminated carbonates.135 m thick and suggests a rapid change in depositional environment from a moderate to high energy, shallow water biohermal platform to a more restricted, low energy, intrashelf, and possibly slightly deeper lagoonal environment.
