Also known as Assemblage 8; FL 23

Where: Victoria, Australia (38.3° S, 144.3° E: paleocoordinates 49.7° S, 142.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Puebla Formation, Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Puebla Fm, which locally conformably overlies the Jan Juc Fm. Stratigraphy is discussed by Raggatt and Crepsin (1953) and Singleton (1968). AGE: The age of the assemblage is Early Miocene and is Longfordian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From lower 20 m of formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; poorly lithified, pyritic, argillaceous siltstone and lithified, gray limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Probably multiple collectors from same locality, including the author, and combination with existing museum collections. REPOSITORY: Museum of Victoria.
