Systematics, biogeography and palaeoecology of Cambrian Series 3 trilobites and agnostids from East Gondwana

Trilobites and agnostids are the best tools for intercontinental correlation during the Cambrian. This thesis documents these arthropods from the East Gondwanan margin (comprising mainland Australia, Tasmania, East Antarctica and New Zealand) during Cambrian Series 3. Trilobite and agnostid taxonomy...

Description
Summary:Trilobites and agnostids are the best tools for intercontinental correlation during the Cambrian. This thesis documents these arthropods from the East Gondwanan margin (comprising mainland Australia, Tasmania, East Antarctica and New Zealand) during Cambrian Series 3. Trilobite and agnostid taxonomy underpins the biostratigraphy and biogeography undertaken in this thesis. Quantitative statistical analyses are used to interpret the biogeography and diversity of the East Gondwana margin within the world at this time.
