Western New South Wales hosts fossil data from the Kayrunnera Group. Nine trilobite species are recorded from three localities within the Boshy Formation, dating to the early Late Cambrian (Mindyallan). The data likely describes stratigraphic relationships and fossil assemblages from a marine transgression period.
Use Cases
- Classify trilobite species based on described genera like Ammagnostus and Blackwelderia
- Analyze stratigraphic intervals and unconformities described in the Kayrunnera Group
- Correlate fossil assemblages with the Glyptagnostus stolidotus zone for biostratigraphy
- Study depositional environments based on the described shallow marine origin of the Boshy Formation
Strengths
- Nine distinct trilobite species are explicitly recorded
- Data is tied to three specific localities within a restricted stratigraphic interval
- Fossil assemblage is referable to a specific biostratigraphic zone (Glyptagnostus stolidotus)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au
