Geological Survey of Western Australia, PerthKath Grey continues work on Archean and Proterozoic acritarchs and stromatolites. Study of 3.4 Ga year old Strelley Pool Formation stromatolites continues and a description of the Trendall State Geoheritage Reserve and its stromatolites was published with Arthur Hickman and Martin Van Kranendonk. This included the first description of an axial zone (almost certainly a biogenic feature) from large conical stromatolites in the early Archean. Further work on axial zones is in progress with David Flannery, Malcolm Walter and Stan Awramik. Also in preparation is a publication on the proposed ‘Dawn of Life Trail’ south of Marble Bar. This year, a detailed inventory of stromatolites and other structures was made during the Spaceward Bound expedition organized jointly by the Mars Society and NASA. The information gathered will help determine whether the site is suitable for development as a geotourist trail that will allow the public to view some of the oldest fossils in the world and reduce pressure on key scientific sites, like the Trendall Geoheritage Reserve. Drillcore from near Wiluna contains the stromatolite Segosia finlaysoniensis, indicating correlation with the Bubble Well Member of the Juderina Formation, basal Yerrida Formation in the Yerrida Basin. The Lomagundi-Jatulian positive carbon isotope excursion (2.2-2.1 Ga) was recorded had previously from an outcrop of this stromatolite. The excursion is associated with evaporite deposition around the world and has been recognised globally. In North America, the excursion occurs in the Kona Dolomite. Juderina Formation and Kona Dolomite stromatolites are identical, so Segosia finalaysoniensis needs reassigning to Djulmekella. Studies of Neoproterozoic stromatolites and microfossils continued. Correlations based on integrated results from stromatolite biostratigraphy, palynology, and stable isotope analysis are holding up. Further work in the western Amadeus Basin has confirmed stromatolite distributions recognized during preliminary studies last year. Work continues with Stan Awramik on a ‘Microbialite Handbook’. Most of the illustrations have been compiled and the manuscript should be submitted in the next few months. A management plan for State Geoheritage Reserves was published. Approval is now needed to carry out any activities within a Reserve. Data capture continues both for a stromatolite database (now containing c.2000 records) and a broader database of all Western Australian fossils in the GSWA collection that will eventually contain some 14 000 records. A large number of outstanding fossil loans have been called in to meet requirements under federal legislation on fossil exports. The level of information and assistance provided to academics and industry remains high and covers a diversity of topics ranging from Archean stromatolites and microfossils, through Proterozoic biostratigraphy to modern microbialite environments. Retirement is looming after 40 years with GSWA, although it has been delayed until late 2012. It is hoped that most of the above projects will have been completed by then, although Kath plans to continue work on scientific projects once she has left GSWA.

Xun Li x.li@gns.cri.nz is a Quaternary palynologist currently working in melissopalynology. Hugh Morgans h.morgans@gns.cri.nz Hugh works with Cenozoic foraminifera primarily for the oil industry but his research interest is in the Paleogene. Lucia Roncaglia l.roncaglia@gns.cri.nz Lucia's main expertise is in the study of stratigraphy and depositional environments of Late Cretaceous to Recent sediments through the analysis of marine palynology and she is the senior author of several scientific publications. Also, she is trained Operations geologist and coordinated well operations in the Danish sector of the North Sea from 2005. Lucia joined GNS Science in 2006. Poul Schioler p.schioler@gns.cri.nz Poul specialises in Cretaceous and Paleogene dinoflagellates and palynofacies analysis and is involved in consultancy work for the petroleum industry. George Scott (Emeritus Research Scientist) george.scott@gns.cri.nz George carries out morphometric studies of Neogene planktonic foraminifera. John Simes j.simes@gns.cri.nz John is the collection manager for the National Paleontology Collection and as well, still keeps an eye on the many conodont and radiolarian collections from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic that he prepared in a previous life. Graeme Stevens (Emeritus Research Scientist) Graeme has completed a study of the New Zealand Jurassic Onychites (cephalopod hooklets for non-cephalopod folks) and it has been published in NZ Jl Geol. & Geophysics 53: 395-412. He has also completed a review paper for Rev. Palaeobiol. Geneva entitled: 'The Early Jurassic of New Zealand: Refinements of the Biostratigraphy and Palaeogeography'. It is currently going through the refereeing process. His current project is Otapirian and Aratauran sequences along the northern Marokopa coast (SW Auckland) and observations on the Triassic/Jurassic boundary in New Zealand', to be published in NZ Jl Geol. & Geophysics. Percy Strong p.strong@gns.cri.nz Percy specialises in Paleogene and Mesozoic foraminifera and over the past months has been involved in consultancy work for the petroleum industry. Marianna Terezow m.terezow@gns.cri.nz Marianna is a paleontology technician at GNS and, besides working on collection curation, is often involved in public education outreach. In the past couple of years she has worked on three major outreach projects. After the culmination of the NZ Fossils: Dead Precious! touring fossil exhibition, Marianna created and released an online virtual tour of the exhibition, which can be found on the public GNS website. Marianna also has created a number of fossil 3D images which are also published on the GNS website. In 2010, together with Dr. James Crampton, Marianna co-authored The Kiwi Fossil Hunter's Handbook (Random House). She also helps provide photographic support for research publications. Marcus Vandergoes m.vandergoes@gns.cri.nz Marcus is a terrestrial Quaternary Paleoclimate Scientist specialising in pollen, chironimids (non-biting midges) and paleoecology. Roger Cooper (Emeritus Research Scientist) r.cooper@gns.cri.nz Roger is using the CONOP graptolite data set, with Peter Sadler, to derive precise macroevolutionary rates (extinction, origination, biodiversity change) for the graptolite clade at the species level, with a resolution of better than 0.1 m.y. Graptolites span the great Ordovician biodiversification event, and the Hirnantian mass extinction and appear to provide a sensitive proxy for environmental change in the marine pelagic environment. We can clearly distinguish between diversity increase that results from increased origination rate and that which results from decreased extinction rate. All the major positive excursions in delta 13C coincide with sharp diversity loss in graptolites. Final revisions to the Ordovician and Silurian parts of the global geochronological scale (GGS) for the forthcoming Elsevier book (Gradstein et al. eds) due out in 2012 (with Pete Sadler and Mike Melchin). The stratigraphy of a Late Cambrian to Ordovician (Sandbian) structural inlier in the Lake Daniells - Maruia area of southwest Nelson, mapped many years ago by Cooper and Simes, has been described as part of a joint project with Yongyi Zhen (who describes the conodonts) and Ian Percival (who describes the brachiopods). With Chris Bentley and Jim Jago, a Cambrian (Guzhanian) Centropleura fauna (trilobites) from Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica has been described. Publications: Crampton, J.S. & Cooper, R.A., 2010.

Ian Raine. i.raine@gns.cri.nz Ian has in recent years found himself spending an increasing amount of time in consulting work for petroleum exploration, both in multi-well biostratigraphic reviews, and in miospore dating of Cretaceous-Paleogene sections in new wells. Some of this has spun off into stratigraphic reviews of the Taranaki Basin, with Karen Higgs and others, and into new efforts aimed at improving the Late Cretaceous miospore zonation, including a detailed study of the Campanian-Maastrichtian Waipara River section (Canterbury Basin) now underway. Ian continues to work with colleagues Liz Kennedy and Erica Crouch on the Paleocene-Eocene boundary, and with a number of overseas palynologists, including US workers Rosie Askin and Sophie Warny on ANDRILL cores and other Antarctic Cenozoic projects, and with Vivi Vajda (Lund University) on the K/T and Triassic/Jurassic boundaries.
