Where: Western Australia, Australia (31.7° S, 128.9° E: paleocoordinates 41.1° S, 124.9° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Nullarbor Formation, Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)
• "Late early Miocene to early middle Miocene" according to O'Connell et al. (2012). Eucla Quarry and Eucla pass sections expose the lower/middle part of the Nullarbor (O'Connell et al., 2012), so an early middle Miocene age assigned here.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: Repository: South Australian Museum
