Where: Queensland, Australia (20.0° S, 147.0° E: paleocoordinates 6.5° S, 161.0° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Ukalunda Formation, Couvinien to Couvinien (409.1 - 382.7 Ma)
• the authors state, "the fauna is so similar to B76F that it must be of approximately the same age--probably Couvinian"; later the statement is also made that "as in previous papers on Australian coral faunas by Hill (e.g. 1950), we use the sequence in the south of the Dinant Basin as our standard of reference for the Devonian, so that we subdivide the Middle Devonian into the Couvinian and Givetian stages, rather that Eifelian and Givetian stages"
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; limestone and conglomerate
