Where: Queensland, Australia (24.3° S, 148.4° E: paleocoordinates 59.5° S, 141.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Catherine Formation, Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• Lower part of the Catherine Sandstone.

•Assigned to Echinalosia deari brachiopod zone and middle APP5 palynomorph zone by Briggs (1998). APP5 palynomorph zone ranges from mid-Wuchiapingian through Changhsingian, but this formation constrained to the Wuchiapingian by radiometric dates in the Black Alley shale of 254.32 Ma and 254.08 Ma (Metcalfe et al., 2015 and Phillips et al., 2018).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
