Lower Devonian beds, top of the Jesse Limestone, New South Wales, Australia (Devonian to of Australia)

Where: New South Wales, Australia (33.4° S, 149.6° E: paleocoordinates 15.9° S, 172.4° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Jesse Limestone Formation, Zlichovian to Zlichovian (409.1 - 393.3 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: slope; intraclastic, shelly/skeletal, cherty/siliceous grainstone

• coquinoid limestone; a coarse=grained breccia with abundant intraclasts of coral debris and various carbonate lithologies with abundant chert pebbles in places

Preservation: replaced with silica, replaced with phosphate

Collection methods: All samples, except for one specimen come from a single block of the limestone near the top of the unit. Size of this block was not given.
