Fossils from the Jamieson District. 
(Nos. 6065-6073 and Nos. 6077-6085.) 
Collected by 0 . A. Z. Whitelaw. 
No. 6066. Opposite junction of Edwards' Creek and Goulburn River. 
A coarse conglomerate with pebbles of black shale and white quartz. 
Numerous cavities testify to the former existence of fossils now entirely 
removed, but the moulds are so weathered as to defy determination. 
Nos. 6067 and 6068. Swampy Creek, 30 chains above junction with 
Pheasant Creek. 
No. 6067.—Black micaceous shales. Weathered surface of bedding 
plane covered with irregular, subcylindrical bodies resembling worm cast¬ 
ings or infilled burrows. Similar remains from the Palaeozoic rocks have 
been referred to fucoids, as Palaeopkycus. 
No. 6068.—A sandy mudstone, unfossiliferous. Surface of bedding 
plane covered with a thin layer of hardened micaceous mud, which is in¬ 
tersected by fracture lines nearly at right angles to one another. It is very 
doubtful whether this is due to sun-cracks and it is possibly caused by the 
subsequent baking of the rock and sudden differential contraction of the 
liner layer. 
Nos. 6069-6073. Spur between 9 Wheeler’s and Moat’s Creeks, one mile 
above Hickey’s Bridge. 
Ochreous sandstone filled with casts of crinoidal stems. Originally 
an arenaceous, crinoidal limestone. No determinable fossils in 6069- 
6071, but 6072 and 6073 contain (?) Orthis (casts). 
No. 6078-6085. On road from Ten Mile to Gaffney’s Creek, 5 chains 
above junction of Edwards’ Creek and Goulburn River. 
Plant remains, indet. 
There is no very definite evidence of age from the above fossils, but 
they presumably occur high in the Silurian series. The appearance of 
the plant remains last mentioned tends to confirm this, since similar forms 
have already been found associated with Yeringian beds in other parts 
of Gippsland.
