The Cenozoic Brachiopods of the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia
The Paleocene‐Miocene deposits of the Carnarvon Basin of Western Australia contain a rich fauna of brachiopods, but only two species, Tegulorhynchia boongeroodaensis Westralicrania allani , both from the Paleocene, have previously been described.One new genus, Giraliathyris , and eight new species a...
