Early Devonian fossils from the Broadford Formation, central Victoria

Abstract

The Broadford Formation of central Victoria, Australia, hitherto lacked an identifiable fossil record but has, nevertheless, recently been considered to be wholly Silurian. Shelly fossil localities below and within the Broadford Formation reported in this study have yielded Boucotia australis and other brachiopods, indicating that much of the formation has a maximum age of Early Devonian.
