“…In far western Tasmania, including Cape Sorell and Smithton, Leaman (1986aLeaman ( , 1986bLeaman ( , 1988 has demonstrated the existence of two thrust setsone west facing, the other east facing. Thrusting has also been demonstrated further south at Point Hibbs where a thrust stack involving Ordovician and Early Devonian rocks faces east (Carey & Berry, 1988).…”

An interpretation of geological and geophysical data is presented to suggest that the Precambrian rocks of Tasmania comprise a series of Palaeozoic thrust slices embedded in the western part of the Lachlan Fold Belt and the eastern part of the Kanmantoo Fold Belt. This interpretation contrasts with previous interpretations which regarded the Precambrian rocks as the basement on which the Palaeozoic rocks formed.In western Tasmania, east-or west-facing thrusts and involving detached Precambrian blocks occur in discrete zones. Westfacing thrusts only occur northwest of an axis from Elliott Bay in southwest Tasmania to Penguin in northern Tasmania. This thrust system overlaps an older east-facing system which becomes more intense eastward but which may be recognised across the entire island.

The organic linings of agglutinated foraminiferans from the Devonian are documented and described. These linings have been recovered in palynological residues from Australia, France, Pakistan and Siberia and range from the Lochkovian to the Frasnian. Six species are described as new:Hemisphaerammina coolamon, Psammosphaera garraay, Reophanus proavitus, Saccammina mea, Saccammina wingarri and Thurammina mirrka. Three species, with a wide geographical spread and a relatively limited stratigraphic range, may prove to have some utility in intercontinental correlation: Inauris tubulata Conkin & Conkin, Saccammina mea n. sp. and Saccammina wingarri n. sp.

Anactolasma yukonanum new genus and species is described from the Pragian of Yukon Territory and is assigned to the Anactolasmatinae, a new subfamily of the Mucophyllidae Hill. Adult stages of Anactolasma resemble gerontic stages of Kobeha Merriam, although the genera have distinct ontogenies. Kobeha is revised on the basis of new material of its type species K. walcotti Merriam. The Papiliophyllinae Stumm are promoted to family status. Kobeha ketophylloides Merriam, from the Pragian of Nevada, and Endophyllum banksi Jell and Hill, from the Pragian of Tasmania, are restudied using new topotypic and other material. A new endophyllid genus named Murphyphyllum is erected for them, with E. banksi as type species. Asarcophyllum ramosum new genus and species, from the Emsian of Nevada, is made type species of a new cyathophyllid genus. Spongophyllum nevadense Stumm and S. expansum Stumm, both also from the Emsian of Nevada, are placed in the new genus, as is Asarcophyllum corona new genus and species, from the Emsian of Yukon Territory. Biostratigraphic settings, with emphasis on associated corals, brachiopods and conodonts, are given for the new and revised genera and species.
