When: Fyansford Formation, Serravallian (13.8 - 11.6 Ma)

• The richly fossiliferous 15 m of Fyansford Formation (= Balcombe Clay) outcropping at the mouth of Gunyoung (= Grices) Creek is referred to the upper part of Mallett's Zone V10 (Carter's Unit 11). In terms of the Australian stages, the assemblage is Bairnsdalian. Balcombian (Langhian) units occur in the upstream parts of Gunyoung Creek, but it seems likely that the fossil came from
