Progress in the study of Cambrian fossils from the Northern Territory and North-west Queensland

The present report summarises the progress in the study of Cambrian fossils from the Northern Territory and north-west Queensland. The material being studied consists of large collections made in the Barkly Tableland by members of the Bureau of Mineral Resources, and a selected set of fossils borrowed from the Australian Museum. In addition, a comparatively complete collection from the Ord River and Mt. Panton is available for comparison. This report provides an overview of the work being carried out. Brief summaries are provided of the present state of research done by A.A. Opik, and of papers planned by other authors.
