Geography
Country:Australia State/province:Queensland
Coordinates: 26.6° South, 148.8° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:71.9° South, 135.4° East (Wright 2013)
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period: Permian Epoch: Lopingian
Stage: Wuchiapingian 10 m.y. bin: Permian 4
Key time interval: Wuchiapingian Brachiopod zone:  Echinalosia ovalis
Age range of interval: 259.51 - 254.14 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Geological group:Back Creek
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Presence of Echinalosia ovalis suggests an age within the E. ovalis zone, correlated with the middle part of APP5 palynomorph zone (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.
