Walkom, A. B. (Arthur Bache)Abstract
In Eastern Australia and Tasmania there is no development of rocks of marine origin representing deposition during the period between the close or the Palaeozoic era and the beginning of the Cretaceous period. During this interval the only sediments deposited in this region were of origin other than marine; the organic remains included in these rocks consist for the most part of plants, but in addition, fish and insects are abundant on some horizons, phyllopods are represented by Estheria and pelecypods by Unio and Unionella.In Eastern Australia and Tasmania there is no development of rocks of marine origin representing deposition during the period between the close or the Palaeozoic era and the beginning of the Cretaceous period.
