Uranerz DDH 4 (Devonian to of Australia)

Where: Western Australia, Australia (26.0° S, 115.0° E: paleocoordinates 29.2° S, 126.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Gneudna Formation, Late/Upper Givetian to Late/Upper Givetian (388.1 - 382.4 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marginal marine; limestone

• Balme (1988, p.110): The exposed succession has a total thickness of nearly 1600 m consisting of a lower 550 m or so of transgressive marginal marine sediments which grade upwards into continental clastics, believed to represent the deposits of a complex of rivers and alluvial fans.
• Balme (1988, p. 112): Interbedded limestone, dolostone, shale and minor sandstone.

Size class: microfossils

Collection methods: core, chemical, mechanical,
