This record describes Mesozoic plant fossils collected in 1960 by S. K. Skwarko from thirteen localities in the Northern Territory. The plant fossil localities were closely associated with marine faunal localities and it may shortly be possible to date the plant horizons accurately when determinations of fauna have been made.
