Stratigraphy
Formation:Blenheim
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Presence of Terrakea elongata suggests an age within the P. clarkei, P. ingelarensis, or possibly P. crassa zone, correlated with the upper part of APP4.3 palynomorph zone or lower part of APP5 (Briggs, 1998). The APP4.3 zone was constrained as mid-Wuchiapingian age and APP5 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.
