• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Upper Member (Elliot Formation), Hettangian to Hettangian (201.3 - 190.8 Ma)
• upper part of Elliot Formation
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; red sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by K. A. Kermack in 1961-1962
• Thulborn claims this was collected over winter 1960-61 but Kermack indicates 1961-62. It is from the same locality as the holotype, but as it was collected some 40 years later and not from an established quarry, it is retained here as a distinct collection.
