Abstract:
Inter-basinal correlations for the Cambrian to Carboniferous successions of Western Australia are mostly poorly constrained, largely due to unfavourable biogeographic factors, but also because biostratigraphic studies have been skewed to certain basins and intervals. By comparison, Permian inter-basinal correlations have benefited from numerous, mostly unpublished, spore-pollen studies, but correlations to the international timescale are poorly constrained because calibration of the latter is based largely on marine species that are rare in Australia.
