PBDB Collection

Basal Mandagery Park Formation, Manildra, New South Wales (Devonian of Australia)

Where: New South Wales, Australia (33.2° S, 148.7° E: paleocoordinates 5.4° S, 174.6° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Mandagery Park Formation, Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)

• Base of the Mandagery Park Formation, "late Lower Gedinnian".

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; limestone

• Boucot (PBDB ref. 6948, p. 569) assigns Quarithyris Community to BA 3. Savage interprets the base of this formation as shallower than underlying Maradana Shale, and the sequence becomes shallower still (near shoreline) higher up in the Mandagery Park Formation. Cowra Trough.

• "This formation consists largely of interbedded limestone and tuffceous sandstone with occasional thin shale bands...Silicified brachiopod and conodont fauna from the basal limestone."

Preservation: replaced with silica

Collection methods: The brachiopods were categorized as the Quadrithyris Community by Savage and also by Boucot (1999, p. 569) (PBDB ref. 6948). Savage gives abundances at the genus level.
