| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Tambo River FM, which conformably overlies the Wuk Wuk Fm, and is conformably overlain by the Jemmys Point Fm. AGE: Late Miocene (Mitchellian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale. | |||||
