Late Permian (late Lymingtonian = ?Kazanian) brachiopods from Tasmania

Age constraints of the Guttulapollenites hannonicus–Cladaitina veteadensis Biozone in Argentina reveal the first record of Early Triassic (Olenekian) palynofloras in Western Gondwana

“…According to the reconstruction of Klaus (1963) the species includes pollen grains with subcircular or oval corpus. Variants based on the size relation of corpus/sacci and separation between the taeniae were recognized by Clarke (1965) and Visscher (1971).…”

Late Palaeozoic (Tamarian; Late Carboniferous-Early Permian) cold-water brachiopods from Tasmania

“…Kelsovia is morphologically close both to Notospirifer and Birchsella (Clarke, 1987). It differs from Notospirifer in transverse, biconvex and finely punctate; cardinal margins not denticulate; commissure gently parasulcate; cardinal extremities subangular to sub-rounded, with maximum width a little anterior to the hinge line; ventral valve sub-pyramidal, with a small beak and a high catacline interarea; interarea flat or weakly concave, the more so near the beak in some specimens; each flank of both valves with about eight low, rounded, simple plications; sulcus and fastigium shallow, smooth and flaring anteriorly; micro-ornament of small, rounded pustules and short, radially elongate grooves.…”

A new notospiriferine genus (Spiriferida: Brachiopoda) from the Permian of Tasmania

“…All five genera may have been derived from the genus Armstrong 1978, Clarke 1987. Nevertheless, N Waterhouse 1 ')68 is a crue Notospirifor, whereas the holotype, at least, of N microstriatus Waterhouse J 964 belongs in Clendonia (Campbell & Clarke, in prep).…”
