Stratigraphy
Formation:Branxton Member:Fenestella Shale
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Formation belongs to the Echinalosia davidi brachiopod zone, equivalent to the middle part of APP3.3 palynomorph zone. Laurie et al. (2016) dated zircons from the Rowan Formation in the Sydney Basin (in the underlying upper Echinalosia preovalis zone, or upper APP3.2) as 271.60 and 271.89 Ma, constraining its upper part to Roadian, given a Roadian-Wordian boundary around 266.9 Ma (Wu et al., 2020). Strata in Western Australia assigned to APP4.1 yielded U-Pb ages of 269.25 Ma or younger, constraining the upper boundary of APP3.3 to the late Roadian (Laurie et al. 2016). As a result, APP3.3 appears to fall entirely within the Roadian. As a result, the E. davidi zone is most likely Roadian.
