—Description of the supposed fossil sirenian Chronozoon Australe, n.gen.n.sp., based on a skull fragment from the Chinchilla (Darling Downs) drift deposits, southeastern Queensland. This specimen has been considered to represent a diprotodont marsupial, possibly the giant wombat Phascolonus gigas (see T. Edinger, 1975: 44), although it may represent a juvenile individual of some other diprotodontid. J. Louys & G. J. Price (Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 60(3):551-572, Fig. 6E (2013), https://doi.org/10.4202/app.00042.2013) consider it a species inquirenda.
