This report gives the result of a microscopic examination of a small collection of fossiliferous rocks from the glauconitic deposits at Maslin Beach and of material collected by Sir Douglas Mawson from the vicinity of Aldinga Bay. Only the micro-fauna has been investigated as the mega-fossils have been described by many palaeontologists.
