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 the Puebla Fm, which conformably overlies the Jan Juc Fm, is interfingered by the Zeally Limestone, and overlain by th Fyansford Fm (Middle Miocene). AGE: Early Miocene (Longfordian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale.
