Preliminary account of the palaeontology and palaeoecology of the EldonGroup formations of the Zeehan area, Tasmania

Abstract

PLATicThe lithological units (formations) of the Eldon Gioup rocks of the Zeehan al'ea have been defined in an accompanying paper (Gill and Banks), and the purpose of the present communication is to ( 1) give some account of the sedimentation by which these formations came into being, (2) outline their palaeontology, (3) indicate something of the palaeoecology from the fossils and their relationship to the enclosing sediments, (4) discuss the age of the beds and their correlation, and (5) set out the systematic palaeontology concerned, concluding with due acknowledgments and a list of reference works.
