Where: Queensland, Australia (24.9° S, 148.3° E: paleocoordinates 60.1° S, 141.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• Mantuan Productus bed and Peawaddy Formation below Mantuan Productus bed.

•Assigned to the Echinalosia ovalis brachiopod zone and middle APP5 palynomorph zone by Briggs (1998). Laurie et al. (2016) constrained APP5 to the mid-Wuchiapingian through Changhsingian. Phillips et al. dated an ash bed within the Peawaddy Formation at 255.13 Ma and one from the top of the unit at 254.41 Ma, indicating a late Wuchiapingian age.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils
