Also known as Winton; AODL 245

Where: Queensland, Australia (22.3° S, 143.1° E: paleocoordinates 51.8° S, 134.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

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

• Tucker et al. 2013 and Tucker et al. 2016 detrital zircon analysis suggest a maximum depositional age of 94–92Ma for the Winton Formation. The underlying upper Mackunda Formation had a maximum depositional age of 104–102Ma, suggesting that the base of the Winton Formation could be no older than Latest Albian.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; concretionary siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: concretion

Collected in 2013

Collection methods: quarrying, surface (float), surface (in situ), mechanical,
