Significance of Middle Cambrian Trilobites from Elcho Island, Northern Territory
A recently discovered Templetonian (Middle Cambrian) trilobite fauna, with affinity to that of the Beetle Creek Formation of western Queensland, is reported from pebbles derived from the Elcho Island Formation (Wessel Group) on Elcho Island, in the Arafura Basin, northern Australia. Consequently, a previously determined isotopic age of 790 m.y., on glauconite from the Elcho Island Formation, is now clearly much greater than the age of deposition of the formation, and the age of the occurrence of Skolithos at the base of the Wessel Group (Buckingham Bay Sandstone) can be reconsidered as Early or early Middle Cambrian, rather than late Proterozoic. Regional correlation of the Buckingham Bay Sandstone and Raiwalla Shale of the Arafura Basin with the Bukalara Sandstone and Cox Formation of the McArthur River region is reiterated on the basis of rock types and presence of the trace fossil Skolithos.
