Upper Cambrian Trilobite Fossils and Stratigraphy from Western New South Wales

Western New South Wales hosts this record of nine trilobite species from three localities within the Boshy Formation of the Kayrunnera Group. The data, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes an early Late Cambrian (Mindyallan) fossil assemblage and the geological context of the region. It was last updated on June 5, 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying trilobite species based on the described genera (e.g., Ammagnostus, Blackwelderia).
• Correlating geological strata based on the described fossil assemblage and its assigned Mindyallan age.
• Studying regional geological history based on the description of the angular unconformity and the Delamerian Orogeny.
• Analyzing paleoenvironments based on the described shallow marine origin of the Boshy Formation.

Strengths

• Describes nine distinct trilobite species from a specific geological formation.
• Provides detailed stratigraphic and tectonic context, including an angular unconformity and a proposed orogenic phase.
• Data is associated with a specific geographic location (Kayrunnera station, western New South Wales).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided as PDF/HTML documents, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
