Where: South Australia, Australia (34.9° S, 138.6° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 53.4° S, 147.0° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Tortachilla Limestone Formation, Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Probably from Tortachilla Limestone, which overlies the Maslin Sands and is overlain by the Blanche Point Fm in the East St Vincent Basin. AGE: Late Eocene (Priabonian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001) - local stage=Aldingan. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation, possibly multiple and mixed bed, hence assigned to a "formation" scale.
