Where: Queensland, Australia (20.6° S, 147.6° E: paleocoordinates 55.8° S, 139.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pseudostrophalosia clarkei brachiopod zone, Blenheim Formation, Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• Strophalosia clarkei bed. Presence of Pseudostrophalosia clarkei suggests an age within the P. clarkei zone, 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: coastal; lithified siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
