Geography
| Country: | Australia | State/province: | Victoria |
| Coordinates: | 37.7° South, 142.0° East (view map) | ||
| Paleocoordinates: | 46.6° South, 140.2° East | ||
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
| 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 5 | ||
| Key time interval: | Middle Miocene | ||
| Age range of interval: | 15.98000 - 11.63000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Muddy Creek | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Muddy Creek, which interfingers the Gellibrand Fm (Early Miocene-Middle Miocene) in Central Otway Basin. AGE: Middle Miocene (Balcombian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale. NOTES: From antiquated publication that predates establishment of region lithostratigraphic framework. Assignments to lithostratigraphic unit and age are based on interpretation by enterer on the basis of cross-referening localities and taxa to more recent publications (e.g. Darragh 1970, Darragh 1986, and in particular Beu and Darragh 2001). | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "siliciclastic" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Unknown lithology. LITHIFICATION: Unknown lithification, note stated in text. | |
| Environment: | coastal indet. |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Environment not reported in text, presumably shallow marine siliciclastic setting. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection,survey of museum collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Types held in National Museum in Victoria | |
| Taxonomic list comments:I put in Darragh's genus-species combinations, which are recent as of 1970; the original IDs are in the comment field. Cypraeids are the exception, as they have taxonomic data. | |
