Also known as Mt. Morgan
Where: Queensland, Australia (23.6° S, 150.4° E: paleocoordinates 55.5° S, 93.1° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Razorback Beds Formation, Sinemurian (199.3 - 190.8 Ma)
• exposed in an outlier of the Razorback Beds
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine; fine-grained, medium, gray, sandy siltstone
•"Two metres of fine-medium siltstone is overlain by monotonous fine-grained laminated siltstone, over 16 m thick which dominates the middle of the sequence. Sedimentary structures include planar and parallel ripple cross laminations, isolated outsize quartz pebbles and subangular clay clasts. Significant pyrite crystals are distributed throughout which are considered secondary given the nature of the proximal orebody. Dinosaur prints are preserved in the uppermost one metre of this facies."
