Foraminiferal linings and other organic walled microfossils from the Devonian of the Tamworth Belt, northern New South Wales, Australia

Early to Late Devonian (Emsian to late Famennian) organic walled microfossi ls were recovered from nineteen localities throughout the Tamworth Belt, no rthern New South Wales. The microfossil assemblages included poorly preserv ed chitinozoans and scolecadonts, spores and moderately well preserved fora miniferal linings. Fourteen species of foraminiferal linings from six gener a are documented. At least three species of foramininferal linings (Inauris tubulata, Saccammina mea and Thurammina pustulosa) show potential for glob al correlation. Saccammina sp. cf. S. ampullacea and Thurammina mirrka may have application for correlation within Australia.
