Name

edit

Kenolamna gunsoni Siversson, 1996

  • Holotype: WAM 95.7.49; an A1 (originally described as an A2), illustrated by Siverson (1996): text-fig. 3, pl. 3: 9–11).

Type locality: Thirindine Point East, Pillawarra Plateau, Southern Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia.

Type horizon: “Upper Gearle Siltstone” (previously referred to as the uppermost Alinga Formation at Thirindine Point), 0.5 m below the base of the Haycock Marl (= Beedagong Claystone of Siverson 1996). The precise age of the type stratum is yet to be determined but is likely Cenomanian. The overlying basal part of the Haycock Marl yields Cretoxyrhina teeth comparable in morphology to those from the Greenhorn Limestone in the Western Interior Seaway of North America.
