Stratigraphy
Stratigraphic resolution:group
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Undifferentiated list from the Freestone Cove Sandstone and Fossil Bliff Sandstone. AGE: Early Miocene (latest Janjukian-earlist Longfordian) = Aquitanian according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple formations, hence assigned to a "group" scale. NOTES: From antiquated publication that predates establishment of region lithostratigraphic framework. Assignments to lithostratigraphic unit and age are based on interpretation by enterer on the basis of cross-referening localities and taxa to more recent publications (e.g. Darragh 1970, Darragh 1986, and in particular Beu and Darragh 2001).

Collection method comments: COLLECTOR: Unknown collectors, possibly including Tate (1880's). REPOSITORY: South Australia Museum (SAM), Adelaide, Australia.
Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive list, comprising bivalvia, gastropoda, and scaphopoda. NOMENCLATURE: Very antiquated nomenclature (c. 1880's) with species-level assignments from authoritative publication. Nomenclature updated where possible through recent systematic revisions and checklists (e.g. Darragh, 1970).
