Terrestrial vertebrates are poorly known from the Australian Cretaceous, limited to only a handful of formations continent wide. The Griman Creek Formation (GCF.), which crops out in north-central New South Wales near the town of Lightning Ridge, is noteworthy for the unusual opalized preservation of its fauna as well as being the only dinosaur-bearing terrestrial unit in the state. New U-Pb age dating of detrital zircons extracted from a layer of distal volcanic ashfall, immediately overlying the main fossil-bearing layer revise the maximum depositional age to early- to mid-Cenomanian, rather than late Albian as was previously thought. The new date provides a reliable context for the GCF. fauna for the first time, placing it tempor...
