Where: Queensland, Australia (22.0° S, 143.0° E: paleocoordinates 51.3° S, 134.4° E)

When: Winton Formation (Rolling Downs Group), Late/Upper Cenomanian to Late/Upper Cenomanian (99.6 - 89.3 Ma)

• The Winton Formation has yielded spore-pollen assemblages belonging to the Phimopollenites pannosus or succeeding Appendicisporties distocarinatus zone of probable late Albian to Cenomanian age (Dettmann & Playford 1969; Burger, 1970; Morgan, 1980; Helby et al., 1987). Moore & Pitt (1984), on the basis of unpublished palynological data, suggested that the uppermost beds of this formation in central parts of the basin may have been deposited in the late Cenomanian or early Turonian.

Size class: macrofossils
