Conodont Biostratigraphy of the upper Devonian reef complexes of the Canning Basin, Western Australia

This report describes the results of a micropalaeontological examination of samples recovered from the depth of 200-250 feet from Bondsprings station.
-
This report describes the results of a micropalaeontological examination of eight rock samples from Mount Canaway.
-
This report describes the results of the micropalaeontological examination of two samples from central Queensland.

This report describes the fossils collected by D.M. Traves early in 1948 from the Barkly Tableland and adjacent areas in Queensland and the Northern Territory. The sequence of Cambrian faunas as far as it can be recognised in the present collection corresponds to the revised sequence given by F.W. Whitehouse in "The Cambrian Faunas of North-East Australia". This report comprises stratigraphical and palaeontological notes, and a preliminary list of fossils with notes on the lithology of the rocks in which they occur.

This report describes the results of the micro-examination of seven samples taken from Fossil Beach, Mornington.

For the first time the hypostoma of an eodiscid trilobite, Pagetia bootes Walcott, is described. The presence of a doublure with terraced lines, and schizochroal eyes as observed on Australian Pagetiae, is mentioned. Obviously the trilobite nature of the Eodiscidae is no longer in question.

This collection of fossils from the Portland area consists chiefly from mollusca, but where a small portion of sediment was attached to the fossils, it was removed and washed down for micro-examination. The number given to each sample refers to the registered number in the Victorian Geological Survey Collection. The results of the examination are recorded in this report.

A visit of inspection to the Lakes Entrance Shaft, with the object of making a collection of fossils from the sediments already excavated, was made on the 17th and 18th of December. The list of fossils recognised is fairly comprehensive but for the reasons stated it consists chiefly of small forms obtained by washing down the sandy marls. The approximate depths at which the various palaeontological horizons were encountered in the shaft are given below, the sequence and lithology of the beds being identical with that proved in all bores in the vicinity.

This collection of fossils was made by Mr. H.J. Cook, Supervisor of the Lakes Entrance project during December, 1942. It consists chiefly of broken specimens of molluscan shells, the most important being a fragment of large Mitra, Fulgoraria ancilloides (Tate) and an almost complete specimen of Cypraea consobrina (McCoy). The importance of the discovery of the latter species is discussed in the report on my recent visit to the shaft, but the presence of the former (which had previously only been recorded from the Balcombian and has a length of 110 millimetres) in the present collection, again indicates that valuable information has been lost through inadequate sampling of a rich shelly zone in the Kalimnan stage.
