Where: South Australia, Australia (28.8° S, 138.4° E: paleocoordinates 31.6° S, 137.6° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Mampuwordu Sand Member (Tirari Formation), Zanclean (5.3 - 3.6 Ma)

• Megirian et al. 2010: The oldest age for the Tirarian is for the bone-bearing paleosol beneath a basalt 40K/40Ar-dated to 4.46 6 0.01 Ma near Hamilton, Victoria (Table 2). The youngest available age estimate for the Tirarian is for the Pompapillina Member of the Tirari Formation, which Tedford et al. (1992) placed near the top of the Gilbert chron, now calibrated to 3.60 Ma (Table 2, Fig. 3) (Gradstein et al. 2005).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "channel"; gray sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
