Glenaulin, sample XVI (Oligocene to of Australia)

Where: Victoria, Australia (37.9° S, 141.4° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 48.5° S, 146.0° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Glenaulin clay Formation (Glenelg Group), Oligocene to Oligocene (33.9 - 5.3 Ma)

• Argillaceous limestone bed 10'-14' above the unconformity at the base of the Formation.

•South landslip, Allotment 1, Ph. Glenaulin

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, white, yellow claystone

• This unit consists predominantly of white to yellowish-grey polyzoal clays and marls containing occasional thin-shelled shelly fossils throughout. A thin, nodule-bearing, argillaceous limestone at the base contains an abundant, but poorly preserved, molluscan fauna.

Size class: mesofossils
