TL;DR: In this article, a mineral exploration hole intersects a polymicturiousvolcaniclastic conglomerate of the Southwell Subgroup of the Mt Read Volcanics at depths of 353 m and 364 m, containing trilobites including an unassigned agnostoid cephalon, Amphoton sp, Liopeishania sp, Menocephalites sp, Lisania sp and a member of the Dorypygidae.
Abstract: Near Middlesex Road, 9 km northeast of the Hellyer mine, northwestern Tasmania, a mineral exploration hole intersects a polymict
volcaniclastic conglomerate of the Southwell Subgroup of the Mt Read Volcanics At depths of 353 m and 364 m, fossiliferous limestone
clasts within this conglomerate contain trilobites, including an unassigned agnostoid cephalon, Amphoton sp, Liopeishania sp,
Menocephalites(?) sp, Lisania(?) sp and an unassigned member of the Dorypygidae, thus suggesting an age of Goniagnostus nathorsti Zone
to early Lejopyge laevigata Zone (ie Late Middle Cambrian) range This shallow-water fauna is unusual for the Tasmanian Cambrian,
in which most faunas are found in deeper water shales and siltstones The horizon from which the fossils come is stratigraphically dose
to a rhyolite with a SHRIMP zircon age of 5032 ± 38 Ma; the usefulness of this figure in terms of the Cambrian time-scale is questioned

TL;DR: In this paper, well preserved trilobites from the Kurgiakh area of the Kunzam La Formation of Zanskar Basin including Ptychoparia consocialis, P. pervulgata and P. hundwarense are reported.
Abstract: Trilobites are important fossils ranging from Cambrian to Permian in age while they are stratigraphically significant in the Lower Palaeozoic. Well preserved trilobites discovered from the Kurgiakh area of the Kunzam La Formation of Zanskar Basin including Ptychoparia consocialis, P. pervulgata, Ptychoparia sp., Lyriaspis spitiensis, Lyriaspis sp., Anomocarella resseri, Anomocaraspis hundwarense. Anomocare sp., Hundwarella transversa, Hundwarella cf. convexa, Hundwarella personata, Hundwarella sp., Elrathia cf. chuwansis, Eymekops hermias. Lisania sp ., Damesella sp., Lorenzella sp. Yuehsienszella sp. are reported.
