Where: Queensland, Australia (27.5° S, 153.0° E: paleocoordinates 48.1° S, 154.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Corinda Formation, Late/Upper Paleocene to Late/Upper Paleocene (58.7 - 48.6 Ma)
• Specimens found towards the bottom of the well and probably from the upper part of the Corinda Formation. More likely to be Eocene than Paleocene.
•Redbank Plains Formation and has been inferred to be Paleogene in age (Rozefelds et al., 2015). Sediments from the Corinda and Darra Formations penetrated in the nearby Ipswich Well GSQ 24 are considered to be contemporaneous with those from the Redbank Plains Formation.
