Abstract
LONDON Geological Society, June 28. G. DELPINE: Upper Devonian goniatites from Mount Pierre, Kimberley District, Western Australia. The dominant type is a Sporadoceras belonging to the group of S. contiguum (Mnster). There are also other new speciesa Pseudoclymenia near Ps. applanata, Schindewolf, a Dimeroceras near Goniatites mammiliferus, Sand-berger, and a Tornoceras. The presence of such species relegates the red goniatite limestones of the Devonian rocks of Mount Pierre to the Middle Famennian (zone 3 of Wedekind) horizon. W. B. R. KING and W. H. WILCOCKSON: The Lower Palozoic rocks of Austwick and Ribblesdale. The Lower Palozoic rocks outcrop in the valleys beneath the almost horizontal Carboniferous Limestone in the neighbourhood of the Craven faults. They are arranged in a synclinorium, pitching in a direction about 70° east of south and striking more or less parallel to the North Craven fault, thus making an angle of about 25° with the strike of the Ingletonian rocks of Chapel le Dale. It is maintained that the Ingletonian rocks are faulted against the Lower Palozoic strata. The oldest fossiliferous horizon appears to be referable to the higher beds of the Caradocian series.
