Where: Western Australia, Australia (32.1° S, 126.1° E: paleocoordinates 52.6° S, 115.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Toolinna Limestone Formation, Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Toolinna Limestones, which overlies the Madura Fm (Early Cretaceous) and is overlain unconformably by the Abrakurrie Limestone (Early Miocene).

Bartonian-Priabonian according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown part of formation.
