Where: Victoria, Australia (37.8° S, 147.4° E: paleocoordinates 14.0° S, 175.8° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Eocostapolygnathus pireneae conodont zone, Kilgower Member (Tabberabbera Formation), Pragian (410.8 - 407.6 Ma)
• Pragian call based on possibility (attributed to Strusz et al.) that the shelly fauna listed here is intermediate in age between Yeringian Cave Hill Formation and Buchanian Buchan Group.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; calcareous sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: "The rich shelly fauna of the Tabberabbera Formation is mostly confined to the Kilgower Sandstone Member."
