Locality 89JTP09

Description:

This section is part of 85JTP10. A tree stump was seen as float near the base of a coal at the western end of the section, approximately 200 m west of the central gulley and a prone log within the lower coal. Underlying that coal is a clay ironstone containing branches and logs (between 0 and 2 m in the section below) and in which Podozamites occurs in abundance. Podozamites also forms a paper coal in places. The positions where other taxa occur are shown in the section below.
