Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Gellibrand | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Gellibrand Fm, which is regionally overlain by the Rutledge Creek Member of the Port Campbell Limestone. Stratigraphy is discussed by Mallet (1977). AGE: The age of the assemblage is late Middle Miocene and is Bairnsdalian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From limited stratigraphic thickness exposed on lake shore. | |||||
