Where: Queensland, Australia (20.6° S, 147.8° E: paleocoordinates 55.9° S, 139.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Blenheim Formation, Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• "As far as can be determined at present from the unpublished maps in the Geological Survey Office, the type locality is some 200-500 feet stratigraphically below the Big Strophalosia Zone." Big Strophalosia zone belongs to the Pseudostrophalosia clarkei zone of Briggs (1998), which is correlated with the upper 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: marine; lithified siliciclastic sediments
