These localities were examined in order to improve the age resolution of Pliocene and Pleistocene fossil vertebrate sites in south-eastern Australia. The following age constraints should now be used for these southeastern Australian local faunas: For-syth's Bank, Kalimnan Stage and >4.42 Ma; Hamilton, Gilbert Chron (4.35-4.42 Ma); Boxlea, Gilbert Chron? (>4.06 Ma); Parwan, Gilbert Chron (4.06-4.20 Ma); Coimadai, Late Gilbert Chron (3.35-3.82 Ma); Fisher-man's Cliff, Gauss Chron (2.42-2.87 Ma); Bone Gulch, Early Matuyama Chron (1.82-2.42 Ma); Dog Rocks, Early Matuyama Chron (1.82-2.42 Ma); Duck Ponds, Late Matuyama Chron (>0.71 Ma and probably <1.63 Ma); Limeburner's Point, Late Matuyama or Brunhes Chron (<0.96 Ma); Hines Quarry, Late Matuyama or Brunhes Chron (<0.96 Ma); and Nelson Bay, Late Matuyama Chron (0.71-1.63 Ma).
