Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Gellibrand | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Gellibrand Fm, which conformably overlies the Clifton Fm (Early Oligocene and is conformably overlain by the Muddy Creek Fm and Port Campbell Limestone (late Middle Miocene). AGE: late Early Miocene and possibly earliest Middle Miocene (Longfordian-Batesfordian) according to Beu and Darragh (2001). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From multiple localities and horizons, hence assigned to a "formation" scale. NOTES: From antiquated publication that predates establishment of region lithostratigraphic framework. Assignments to lithostratigraphic unit and age are based on interpretation by enterer on the basis of cross-referening localities and taxa to more recent publications (e.g. Darragh 1970, Darragh 1986, and in particular Beu and Darragh 2001).

| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Grey calcareous silt. LITHIFICATION: Poorly lithified, assumed on the basis of facies description and age. | |
| Environment: | coastal indet. |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Environment not reported in text, presumably shallow marine siliciclastic setting. | |
Taphonomy

| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection,survey of museum collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collection method comments: COLLECTOR: Unknown collectors, possibly including Tate (1880's). REPOSITORY: South Australia Museum (SAM), Adelaide, Australia. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive list, comprising bivalvia, gastropoda, and scaphopoda. NOMENCLATURE: Very antiquated nomenclature (c. 1880's) with species-level assignments from authoritative publication. Nomenclature updated where possible through recent systematic revisions and checklists (e.g. Darragh, 1970). | |
