Where: New South Wales, Australia (28.9° S, 152.4° E: paleocoordinates 64.1° S, 157.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Echinalosia hanloni brachiopod zone, Cataract River Member (Drake Volcanics Formation), Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)

• "Spiriferid horizon" 183 m above base of "Cataract River Formation". Brachiopods suggest the Echinalosia hanloni zone, correlated with APP4.2 palynomorph zone (Briggs, 1998). The APP4.2 zone was constrained as late Wordian to mid-Wuchiapingian age by U-Pb dating in Laurie et al. (2016). The E. hanloni zone is the basal part of APP4.2, so a Wordian age is assigned here.
