Where: Western Australia, Australia (32.0° S, 115.8° E: paleocoordinates 32.0° S, 115.8° E)

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• AGE: "Last Interglacial" of Late Pleistocene. Extended discussion of age in text (Kendrick et al., 1991), but generally regarded as Late Pleistocene on the basis of published U-series dates, ESR, and amino acid racemization results, and good preservational state.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, shelly/skeletal sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite, original calcite

Collection methods: quarrying,

• COLLECTOR: Faunal list is a composite of decades of collecting effort, including that reported by Darragh and Kendrick (1971), Kendrick (1981), Ponder (1985), and Kendrick unpublished data. REPOSITORY: Collection assembled from material reposited in Western Australian Museum (WAM).
