Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the Australian Museum, Vol. 11: Edited by the Director and Curator
At various beaches on the south, south-east, north, and north-west coasts of Australia, remains of Decapoda more or less encased in clay-nodules, are every now and then brought to light, but very few facts appear to have been gathered as to their mode of occurrence when [it sit. Again, similar animal remains have been met with in excavating canals in delta deposits, only in such instances they are less markedly nodular, and have undergone a lesser degree of fossilisation. A third occurrence is that of river, or perhaps estuarine, deposits brought to light through dredging operations.
As an instance of the first mode of occurrence we cite Anson Bay, North-west Australia; of the second the Goode Canal, Yarra River Delta; and of the third dredging operations carried on at the mouth of the Brisbane River, Moreton Bar. All of these occurrences will he referred to later.
