Where: Queensland, Australia (20.8° S, 147.7° E: paleocoordinates 56.1° S, 139.8° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

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

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified siltstone
