Summary

Description
English: Mudrocks in the Cambrian of South Australia.

The only fossils known from this unit are three trilobite specimens (only three have been found in the last 100 years), hyoliths, acritarchs, trace fossils, and an Isoxys valve. A bentonite/volcanic tuff bed in the Heatherdale Shale dates to 522 million years ago. Small spots and weathered-out spots in this material are phosphatic nodules.

Stratigraphy: Heatherdale Shale, upper Normanville Group, mid-Botomian Stage, upper Lower Cambrian

Locality: roadcut along the southeastern side of Main South Road, ~1.3 kilometers southwest of the Victory Motel at Sellicks Hill, Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia (35° 20' 17.06" South latitude, 138° 27' 54.52" East longitude)
