Axax Mine Archaeocyaths and Ajx-M section, Mount Scott Range
This classic archaeocyath locality was first studied by Taylor (1908, 1910) and subsequently by the Bedfords (R. Bedford & W.R. Bedford 1934, 1936; R. Bedford & J. Bedford 1936, 1937, 1939) and Ting (1937). Uniquely among Australian archaeocyathan terranes, the mineral replacement of archaeo...
