Also known as Elliot/Mary sector, D31, Belmont, Winton; AODL 127
Where: Queensland, Australia (22.3° S, 143.1° E: paleocoordinates 51.6° S, 134.6° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Phimopollenites pannosus pollen zone, Winton Formation (Rolling Downs Group), Late/Upper Cenomanian to Late/Upper Cenomanian (99.6 - 89.3 Ma)
• pollen zone inferred from nearby localities
•
•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
