Halobia(Bivalvia, Triassic) and a gastropod from Torlesse Supergroup rocks of Wellington, New Zealand

Abstract

Halobia lilliei Marwick is recorded from a stream boulder in the Hutt River, probably of local origin. It indicates an Oretian (Karnian) age and confirms a Late Triassic age determination for at least some Torlesse Supergroup rocks in the Wellington-Hutt Valley area. An indeterminate gastropod is described from another locality within the same rocks.
