Significance:
Geological Formations:
shelly marine fossils, including corals, sea urchins, molluscs (bivalves, ammonites, gastropods), brachiopods, sharks teeth, ostracods, bryozoans, foraminifera, vascular plants (eg cycads, carbonised and bored wood), reptile bones (incl. chelonians) etc
coastal and shallow marine siliciclastic sediments, with subordinate limestones (including bryozoan limestones, coquinites)
Early – Late Cretaceous
c. 135-70 Ma
These marine faunas are of considerable palaeobiogeographic significance
