• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Artinskian (290.1 - 279.3 Ma)
• Not listed, but based on nearby localities probably Rammutt Formation
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, green sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
Collected by R. Daintree
• Specimens shipped to Etheridge in London but presumably returned to Australia. In 1892 Etheridge junior mentioned that the Daintree collection had become scattered, but that he had received some of the mollusca from the Queensland Museum. Some of the specimens collected by Daintree are housed in the National Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, but it has not been possible to locate the types of E. concentrica and E. obovata, and it is most likely that both specimens are permanently lost.
