Abstract
GENERAL NOTES:
The fossil came from the air-shaft of the Aberfoyle Mine,
and its age was determined by the Government Geologist
(Mr. P. B. Nye) as being Permo-Carboniferous. This field
note is of some importance, since of recent years the old
genus Dadoxylon has been revived to meet the case of
all such Australian Palaeozoic specimens as are duly segregated
from the more ancient type of Cordaites. In the same
connection the genus ArAraucarioxylon is now restricted to
Mesozoic pines, of more or less Araucarian habit. Such
being the case, our fossil must therefore be either a true
survival of the Devonian Cordaites, or else the more recently
evolved Dadoxylon.
