Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Port Campbell Limestone | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Port Campbell Limestone, which conformably overlies the Gellibrand Fm (Early-Middle Miocene). AGE: Middle Miocene (Bairnsdalian = Serravallian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale. | |||||
