Where: South Australia, Australia (34.9° S, 139.3° E: paleocoordinates 46.5° S, 136.2° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Mannum Limestone Formation, Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Mannum Limestone, which conformably overlies the Ettrick Fm (Late Oligocene-Early Miocene) and is conformably overlain by the Morgan Limestone in Murray Basin. AGE: Early Miocene (Longfordian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale. NOTES: From antiquated publication that predates establishment of region lithostratigraphic framework. Assignments to lithostratigraphic unit and age are based on interpretation by enterer on the basis of cross-referening localities and taxa to more recent publications (e.g. Darragh 1970, Darragh 1986, and in particular Beu and Darragh 2001).
