Abstract
Deformed poorly preserved fossils from Gondor Formation in the Eglinton valley belong to a zone particularly widespread in the Early Permian of Gondwana, and indicate a mid-Sakmarian age. They include the oldest brachiopods yet known from New Zealand Permian sequences. The brachiopod and molluscan taxa are summarised, and a new genus is proposed for an allied species from east Australia Pustulospiriferina n. gen., type species Punctospirifer etheridgei Armstrong, 1970.Keywords
