Where: New South Wales, Australia (32.9° S, 151.6° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 78.5° S, 141.9° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Lambton Formation, Wuchiapingian (259.5 - 254.1 Ma)
• "The Borehole Seam is the lowermost part of the Lambton Subgroup and lies immediately above the Waratah Sandstone which forms the base of the Newcastle Coal Measures. The Borehole Seam is Kazanian in age." The Nobbys Tuff, which directly overlies the Lambton Formation, yielded a U-Pb age of 254.82 Ma (Laurie et al., 2016), indicating a Wuchiapingian age for the basal Newcastle Coal Measures.
