Where: Queensland, Australia (23.1° S, 148.0° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 68.3° S, 135.1° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• Presence of Pseudostrophalosia ingelarensis suggests the P.ingelarensis zone, correlated with the lower part of APP5 (Briggs, 1998). The APP5 zone was constrained as mid-Wuchiapingian through Changhsingian age by U-Pb dating in Laurie et al. (2016). However, overlying units in the Fort Cooper Coal Measures yield latest Wuchiapingian U-Pb ages (Phillips et al., 2018), constraining the upper Blenheim Fm to Wuchiapingian.
