13 km south Hamilton Hotel (Cretaceous to of Australia)

Where: Queensland, Australia (22.9° S, 140.6° E: paleocoordinates 54.8° S, 126.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Toolebuc Formation (Rolling Downs Group), Middle Albian to Middle Albian (109.0 - 99.6 Ma)

• "Age determinations for the Toolebuc Formation based on dinoflagellates and miospores indicate a latest middle to late Albian range: Pseudoceratium ludbrookiae dinoflagellate Zone and Coptospora paradoxa spore-pollen Zone"

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; limestone and shale

• "concretionary and crystalline limestones with interbedded shales; the shales are readibly eroded and leave on the surface only concretionary blocks and crystalline flags"

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: QM: Queensland Museum
