Cretaceous fossils of Queensland

Abstract

This part illustrates those Queensland Cretaceous fossils which are either of stratigraphic significance, or are illustrative of the occurrence of a particular group in Cretaceous sediments of this State. The explanatory matter for each illustration notes features suitable for their recognition, and gives the ranges, first of the genus (if this exceeds the Cretaceous), and then of the species as it is known for Queensland, together with geographic and stratigraphic details. A tentative correlation table for the Cretaceous is presented on page k.34; maps showing structural elements of Queensland and the distribution of Cretaceous sediments in this State are on pages k.2 and k.35 respectively.
