Where: Queensland, Australia (25.3° S, 147.8° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 70.4° S, 133.4° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pseudostrophalosia clarkei brachiopod zone, Back Creek Group, Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• Presence of Pseudostrophalosia clarkei suggests an age within the P. clarkei zone, correlated with the lower part of APP4.3 palynomorph zone (Briggs, 1998). The APP4.3 zone was constrained as mid-Wuchiapingian age by U-Pb dating in Laurie et al. (2016).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
