Stratigraphy
Geological group: | Strzelecki | ||||
Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: THE KOONWARRA FOSSIL BED of South Gippsland, Australia, is =8 m thick, and the invertebrate fossils occur mainly on the lower strata just above an apatite layer dated 118 ± 5 million yr old and below a layer dated 115 ± 5 million yr old (Drinnan & Chambers 1986, Jell & Duncan 1986). Orig. assigned to Korumburra Group. |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | planar lamination lithified claystone | ||
Secondary lithology: | lithified siltstone | ||

Environment: | pond | Tectonic setting: | rift |
Geology comments: "Numerous aquatic and semiaquatic insects in this bed, and the finely stratified mudstone that contains them, indicate a shallow pond with marshy edges that received periodic muddy influx from a larger adjacent lake." Hamilton, 1992 |
