Abstract
In 1967 I described twelve species of dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs from a siltstone sample collected from the Garden Cove Formation, Campbell Island. On palynological evidence, mainly from dinoflagellates whose age ranges were taken from literature available at the time, I concluded that the sample was Teurian (Danian) in age despite the presence of some Cretaceous elements. The age agreed with that indicated by the foraminifer, Gaudryina whangaia Finlay, a Teurian index species recorded several years earlier from the same formation (Oliver et al. 1950).
