Description "Shell large, subrectangular; dorsal margin relatively straight, projecting anterodorsally and posterodorsally; venter straight; anterior broadly rounded; posterior subtrianglar with several broad posteroventral denticles. Eye-tubercle present but rather small. Hastate in dorsal view. The major feature of the shell ornament is a heavy ventral ridge which is deeply fossate along its entire length, the number of fossae amounting to eight. This ridge is the continuation of an anteromarginal ridge which thickens gradually and also becomes more alate from the anteroventral region posteriorwards to its abrupt end. The anterior behind the marginal ridge is also fossate but there fossae are relatively shallow and fewer (five) in number. Additionally, there is a yoking ridge between the small eye tubercle and large subcentral tubercle, as well as a minor dorsal ridge with minor fossae. The anterior margin is denticulate; at the posterior margin are three or four stout separate denticles. In front of the subcentral tubercle the valve surface is finely pitted whereas behind it the surface is reticulate becoming pitted in the posterior part. The posterodorsal margin is thickened and raised and fossate (four fossae) on its inner side. Internal features include moderately broad inner lamellae without vestibules and traversed by rather numerous marginal pore canals; two types of normal pore canals - simple, rimmed and sieve type -; and a central muscle scar grouping characterised by 2 frontal scars. The hinge is hemiamphidont. Sexual dimorphism could not be confirmed from the limited available material. Probably, males are relatively less high with respect to their length than females."

Etymology "For the late Edmund T. Gill, former Deputy Director of the National Museum of Victoria, whose pioneering work on the Pleistocene of the Warrnambool district (Gill, 1967) led eventually to location of the Goose Lagoon Drain deposit." (McKenzie; Reyment; Reymentrain, 1990: 20) [details]

(McKenzie; Reyment; Reymentrain, 1990: 20) [details]Diagnosis "A Bradleya characterised by a prominent and deeply fossate ventral ridge, large rounded subcentral tubercule and variable - reticulate or punctate - surface ornament; there is also a minor ridge yoking the eye tubercle to the subcentral tubercle."
