Atrypoidea australis Community, Molong LimestoneStrusz D. L., Garratt M. J. (1999)Molong Limestone"Wenlockian to Ludlovian, based on the age range of the Molong Limestone in which the community occurs. Accurate age data are not available, because of poor conodont contrule...and because of confusion over type locality of the two main taxa...Some faunal data would appear to span most of the Wenlockian and Ludlovian."grainstone433.4 - 423 Ma
