Foraminifera and palaeoenvironment of elevated Late Pleistocene sands, White Rock Point, southeastern Tasmania

Foraminiferaand Palaeoenvironment of Elevated Late Pleistocene Sands, White Rock Point! Southeastern Tasmania

A foraminiferal fauna similar to that in in southeastern Tasmania is documented from raised shallow-water sediment of 130-119 Ka age (Late Pleistocene; Marine Isotope 5e) at about 24m above modern sea level on White Rock Point. Foraminifera and sediment characteristics indicate that occurred in very shallow, highly oxygenated, high-energy marine conditions in an area of open circulation. There ...

Additional Discoveries of Aboriginal Rock Carvings in Tasmania

After several visits to the area rock workings were found on the southern slope of a high dolerite ridge known locally as "Billy Blue". They were ona large sand-stone rock measuring approximately sixty yards long and four yards wide. It faced west and was on the eastern bank of a creek bed which, though normally dry, has a permanent soakage at its mouth some fifty yards below the carved rock. A...
