Where: Victoria Land, Antarctica (77.2° S, 160.1° E: paleocoordinates 66.7° S, 86.6° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: C Member (Lashly Formation), Carnian (237.0 - 228.0 Ma)

• Palynormorphs taken from one of the bone-bearing samples include spores and pollen consistent with subzone C of the Alisporites Zone of Carnian age. The spore species Craterisporites rotundus defines the base of the eastern Australian Craterisporites rotundus Zone of Carnian age, and occurs in Carnian and Norian rocks in New Zealand.

•Specimens found as mudstone clasts on the slope in the upper part of the second fining-upwards cycle of member C of the Lashly Formation. Although it is possible that they are derived from higher in the section they are still likely to be from member C

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; carbonaceous mudstone and conglomeratic sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
