Where: New South Wales, Australia (34.6° S, 150.4° E: paleocoordinates 70.1° S, 158.3° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Berry Formation, Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)
• Assigned to APP4.2 (Echinalosia runnegari-E. wassi brachiopod zones) by Briggs (1998). According to the radiometric calibrations of Laurie et al. (2016), APP4.2 spans the latest Wordian through early Wuchiapingian. The overlying Broughton Formation yielded an early Capitanian radiometric age of 263.51 Ma in its upper part (Metcalf et al., 2015), so a late Wordian age is assigned to the Berry Formation here.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, silty sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
