 Nat' Academies Press, Effects of Past Global Change on Life (1995)
Whereas the Anglesea fossils occur high in the Eastern View Formation and are considered late Middle Eocene, the Dean's Marsh locality is basal Eastern View Formation and is late Early Eocene (Douglas and Ferguson, 1988).
One explanation that fits nicely with the known data is that although they occur in very similar environmental situations, and hence have similar physiognomic signatures, the two deposits occur on either side of the 8-m.y.
Thus, two distinct significant global climatic events (Figure 10.4) can be seen to be reflected in the Australian megafossil record and, when considered floristically, appear to have had a major effect on the vegetation development of the continent.
