Kurrajong Park Formation, Manildra Area, New South Wales (Silurian of Australia)
Where: New South Wales, Australia (33.0° S, 149.0° E: paleocoordinates 5.9° N, 173.9° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Kurrajong Park Formation, Wenlock (433.4 - 427.4 Ma)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; siltstone and shale
• Cowra Trough. "Little is known of the origin of these sediments but the presence of large areas of Conchidium-bearing late Wenlockian limestones in the Molong and Borenore districts of the the Molong Geanticline, about 20 km to the E, suggests that the sea floor shallowed in that direction."
• "320 m sequence of siltstones, shales and greywackes."
