“…The section at Horse Spring has been previously dated using conodonts (Klapper 1989; and goniatites (Becker et al 1993), with the Frasnian-Famennian boundary located between 34.6 and 36.6 m above the section base. A diverse Frasnian microvertebrate fauna has also been recorded by Trinajstic and George (2009) with scales of the thelodont Australolepis seddoni Turner and Dring, 1981 recorded as occurring with conodont elements and phoebodont teeth for the first time, thus allowing the age of A. seddoni to be constrained to MN 4-10 CZ. The phoebodont teeth were also correlated to the known phoebodont based zonation of Ginter and Ivanov (1995a).…”

“…A second, incomplete specimen comprising meckels cartilage, a shoulder girdle and associated teeth has highlighted the high degree of heterodonty present in Frasnian sharks and the recognition of this variation is important when diagnosing species from isolated teeth. Previous microvertebrate studies in the Canning and Carnarvon basins have revealed the presence of the youngest-recorded thelodont scales, first in early Frasnian strata of the Carnarvon Basin (Turner and Dring 1981) and later, younger scales in the middle Frasnian (Trinajstic and George 2009) and middle Famennian of the Canning Basin (Hairapetian et al, in press).…”

“…1. Simplified geological map of the Devonian Reef complexes of the Lennard Shelf, northern Canning Basin, showing the South Oscar Range, Horse Spring and Casey Falls measured sections and main facies types (modified after Playford et al 2009) Carnarvon (Turner and Dring 1981;Long 1991;Trinajstic and George 2009) and Canning basins of Western Australia (Long and Trinajstic 2000;Trinajstic and George 2009;Long and Trinajstic 2010) with greatest number of studies in Western Australia done on the Frasnian macrovertebrate faunas of the Gogo Formation (see Trinajstic et al 2014 for a review). Biostratigraphic studies into vertebrate faunas, from both the Canning and Carnarvon basins however, are less common.…”

A diverse microvertebrate fauna is described from the Virgin Hills and Napier formations, Bugle Gap Limestone Canning Basin, Western Australia. Measured sections at Horse Spring and Casey Falls (Virgin Hills Formation) and South Oscar Range (Napier Formation) comprise proximal to distal slope carbonates ranging in age from the Late Devonian Frasnian to middle Famennian. A total of 18 chondrichthyan taxa are identified based on teeth, including the first record of Thrinacodus tranquillus, Cladoides wildungensis, Protacrodus serra and Lissodus lusavorichi from the Canning Basin. A new species, Diademodus dominicus sp. nov. is also described and provides the first record of this genus outside of Laurussia. In addition, the upper range of Australolepis seddoni has been extended to Late Devonian conodont Zone 11, making it the youngest known occurrence for this species. The Virgin Hills and Napier formations microvertebrate faunas show close affinities to faunas recovered from other areas of Gondwana, including eastern Australia, Iran, Morocco and South China, which is consistent with known conodont and trilobite faunas of the same age.

An almost complete but predominantly disarticulated ptyctodont fish, Kimbryanodus williamburyensis n. gen., n.sp. from the Late Devonian Gneudna Formation, is described. The fossils occur as three-dimensionally preserved isolated plates, and this has allowed the reconstruction of the fish. A taxonomic revision of the ptyctodonts was undertaken based on recently described Australian taxa and new reconstructions of Australian, American and European specimens. The phylogenetic analysis supports a threefold division of the ptyctodonts, with Rhamphodopsis being the most basal taxon and the other ptyctodonts divided into those possessing a median dorsal spine, spinal plate and simple V-shaped overlap of the anterior lateral and anterior dorsolateral plates and those taxa which do not.
