The presence of Atavograptus sp., Glyptograptus persculptus (Salter), Climacograptus normalis Lapworth and Akidograptus sp. on one horizon in the Westfield Beds, southwestern Tasmania, suggests an Early Llandovery, persculptus zone or low acuminatus zone correlation for that horizon. Horizons lower in the Westfield Beds contain trinucleid trilobites and are presumably Late Ordovician. Thus is the Ordovician Silurian boundary is likely to lie within a conformable succession containing mainly shelly fossils but also some graptolites.
