Thirteen localities in the Northern Territory were sampled for Mesozoic plant fossils by S. K. Skwarko in 1960. The plant fossil localities were closely associated with marine faunal localities, which may allow for accurate dating of the plant horizons. The record is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and is available in PDF and HTML formats.
Use Cases
- Correlate plant fossil horizons with marine faunal assemblages based on the described association.
- Study the distribution of Mesozoic flora across thirteen specific localities in the Northern Territory.
- Establish temporal frameworks for plant fossil deposits based on potential faunal determinations mentioned in the description.
Strengths
- Collection is from thirteen specific localities, providing spatial granularity.
- The association with marine faunal localities offers potential for cross-disciplinary dating.
- Record is hosted by an authoritative organization, the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
