Abstract:
The Cunaloo Limestone Member of the Locker Shale (Kockatea Shale facies) from the Carnarvon Basin contains a distinctive conodont zone also seen in the informally named ‘Limestone Marker’ in the lower Kockatea Shale of the northern Perth Basin. The boundary between the Induan (Dienerian) and the Olenekian (Smithian) is selected at the base of the incoming of the conodont Novispathodus waageni eowaageni in this core and provides an important biostratigraphic correlation point between the two basins.
