Analysis of a single wood sample from a silicified low energy, poorly sorted, sandy, fluvial horizon within an apparent palaeovalley on the Gawler Craton is identified as a member of the botanical family Podocarpaceae, with a possible affinity to the genus Phyllocladus. The specimen is considered to be no older than Cretaceous, however, associated palynological and palaeobotanical data from the Eucla and Polda Basins would suggest a latest Eocene - Late Miocene age.
