Belmont (Pincombe 1924 coll) (Permian of Australia)

Where: New South Wales, Australia (33.0° S, 151.7° E: paleocoordinates 67.0° S, 145.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Belmont Conglomerate Member (Croudace Bay Formation), Changhsingian (254.0 - 252.3 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: pond; lithified, tuffaceous chert

• Insect bed appears to have been deposited in shallow ephemeral floodbasin ponds and is stratigraphically positioned between fast-flowing river and coal swamp deposits. Volcanic ash draped the area, infilling the pools and preserving the taphocoenosis.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
