Extract

The recent discovery of fossil fishes in the Devonian rocks of Victoria may appear somewhat surprising in view of the fact that the general geology of the state has by now been worked out in fair detail, both by the Geological Survey and by independent investigators. Much of the detailed work has been confined, however, to the Lower Palaeozoic groups, in which the original gold deposits of the state are found, the economically less important Upper Palaeozoic rocks having been subjected to less minute examination by the Survey, especially of late years, and left in the hands of individual geologists, who often turned to the great igneous rock masses occurring in the central part of the state as constituting a congenial subject for research.
