Abstract
New microvertebrate assemblages are illustrated and briefly described from 12 measured sections and various spot localities in the fossiliferous limestones of southeastern Australia, ranging in age from Ludlow to Emsian. Conodonts associated with most of the microvertebrate assemblages permit correlation with the standard conodont zonation. Acanthodians and placoderms are the most commonly represented microvertebrate groups. Illustrated material includes various placoderm scales including buchanosteid, weejasperaspid, and brindabellaspid types which may be endemic to East Gondwana. The first thelodont scales are described from the Emsian of Buchan (Victoria) and Burrinjuck (New South Wales). Various acanthodian scales are referred mainly to cosmopolitan genera. A minor osteichthyan component comprises actinopterygians and onychodontids, with a few other sarcopterygian remains.
