Abstract

Durvilleoceras woodmani of debated Late Permian or Early Triassic age is accompanied by other ammonoids, deemed to belong to Araxoceratidae, Xenodiscidae, and Goniatitida, of chiefly Late Permian age. The ammonoids are found principally in the Deserter Bay and especially Tongue Point Members (new names) of the newly named South Arm and Wells Arm formations of the Greville Subgroup, which are overlain, apparently in normal stratigraphic succession, by the Waiua Formation and newly named formations of the Te Mokai Group, with three successive faunas of Permian appearance.
