Inhoud:
Glacial pavements associated with tillites of presumed Permian age near Moyhu, north-east Victoria, Australia, provide further evidence for glaciation in the region, and indicate an ice-movement direction close to true north. This is near normal to ice-movement directions (either from the west or the east) previously inferred from the likely provenance of clasts in the tillites, among the more conspicuous of which are Early Devonian fossiliferous sandstones formerly thought to be derived from the Mount Ida Formation, 140 km west near Heathcote, central Victoria. A more southerly source for the Early Devonian fossiliferous sandstones now seems appropriate; the faunal assemblages are not incompatible with sources in Tasmania or Antarctica.
