Where: Queensland, Australia (26.1° S, 149.1° E: paleocoordinates 67.0° S, 93.4° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Walloon Coal Measures Formation (Injune Creek Group), Early/Lower Oxfordian (161.2 - 155.7 Ma)
• U-Pb detrital zircon maximum depositional age determined is 162.6 ± 1.1 Ma, no older than early Oxfordian, demonstrating that the fossils are younger than expected, and definitely recovered from the Walloon Coal Measures (Todd et al. 2019)
