Fossils & Geological Features

"Clint' - this Brachiopod - is also seen at south Mollymook platform where no other brachiopods are preserved , also in nth Colliers rock platform where no other brachiopods are found in any notable numbers but do see there fossil wood and lots of sediment or deposit feeders (feeding traces only). Tough little fellow (he/she). Was also know to live with the other filter feeders who were more sensitive to mud and silt in the water.

Great info this is one of the inspirations for the Budawang Coast Logo

This is the "Clint Eastwood" of Early Permian shelly brachiopods of our region. This little guy was able to tolerate muddy conditions better than any other brachiopod so he/she is widespread; while willing to live both with other filter feeders but also on his/her own as a pioneer species. Dolphin Pt. was such a place at 270 my ago - cold water with lots and silt, mud and ice bergs on the sea surface.

There are several Productid Brachiopod fossils both sides of the Crinoid stem.

There are also several Bryazoan fossils in this photo.
