Geography
Country:Australia State/province:Queensland
Coordinates: 25.0° South, 148.3° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:60.2° South, 141.2° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Permian Epoch:Lopingian
Stage:Wuchiapingian 10 m.y. bin:Permian 4
Key time interval:Wuchiapingian
Age range of interval:259.51000 - 254.14000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Peawaddy
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Originally described as upper mudstone unit of Ingelara Formation, but may belong to lower Peawaddy Formation.
Assigned to the Echinalosia ovalis brachiopod zone and middle APP5 palynomorph zone by Briggs (1998). Laurie et al. (2016) constrained APP5 to the mid-Wuchiapingian through Changhsingian. Phillips et al. dated an ash bed within the Peawaddy Formation at 255.13 Ma and one from the top of the unit at 254.41 Ma, indicating a late Wuchiapingian age.
