Where: Queensland, Australia (21.4° S, 148.5° E: paleocoordinates 56.6° S, 141.2° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pseudostrophalosia blakei brachiopod zone, Blenheim Formation, Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)
• Presence of Terrakea exmoorensis suggests an age within the P. blakei zone, correlated with the lower part of APP4.3 palynomorph zone (Briggs, 1998). The APP4.3 zone was constrained as mid-Wuchiapingian age by U-Pb dating in Laurie et al. (2016).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
