Where: New South Wales, Australia (31.3° S, 150.7° E: paleocoordinates 34.1° S, 144.1° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Goonoo Goonoo Mudstone Formation, Hastarian to Hastarian (358.9 - 340.0 Ma)
• the "precise position" within the formmation "has not been determined" but it is somewhere lower than the Hastarian to Chadian main horizon discussed in the paper; regardless, it is certainly Carboniferous and no younger than it
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: Geological and Mining Museum, Sydney collection
