When: Lower Marine Beds Formation (Port Keats Group), Roadian (272.3 - 268.8 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified siliciclastic sediments

Collected by H.Y.L. Brown, L.C.E. Gee, H. Basedow

• Repository: South Australian Museum and Museum of Victoria, Melbourne. The Museum of Victoria obtained the specimens when it purchased in 1972 the fossil collections of the Kyancutta Museum (South Australia). It appears likely that the Kyancutta Museum obtained the material from the Port Adelaide Institute Museum which received material donated by H. Y. L. Brown.
