Where: Northern Territory, Australia (14.5° S, 129.5° E: paleocoordinates 51.1° S, 117.5° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Lower Marine Beds Formation (Port Keats Group), Roadian (272.3 - 268.8 Ma)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by H.Y.L. Brown, L.C.E. Gee, H. Basedow
• Repository: South Australian Museum and Museum of Victoria, Melbourne. The Museum of Victoria obtained the specimens when it purchased in 1972 the fossil collections of the Kyancutta Museum (South Australia). It appears likely that the Kyancutta Museum obtained the material from the Port Adelaide Institute Museum which received material donated by H. Y. L. Brown.
