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:	15.98 - 11.63 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: COLLECTOR: Unknown collectors, possibly including Tate (1880's). REPOSITORY: South Australia Museum (SAM), Adelaide, Australia.
Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive list, comprising bivalvia, gastropoda, and scaphopoda. NOMENCLATURE: Very antiquated nomenclature (c. 1880's) with species-level assignments from authoritative publication. Nomenclature updated where possible through recent systematic revisions and checklists (e.g. Darragh, 1970).
