| Abstract: | Well preserved lingulids from near the base of the Mandagery Sandstone in the Late Devonian Hervey Group, N.S.W. are described as Apsilingula parkesensis gen. et sp. nov. The internal structures are better preserved than those of any previously described Palaeozoic lingulid and it has been possible to reconstruct the muscle system and to demonstrate a close similarity to living species of Lingula. |
