A fauna of brachiopods, bivalves and gastropods is described from beds below the Wall Sandstone, variously assigned to the basal Gebbie Formation or upper Tiverton Formation, and regarded as typifying Fauna Ilia of Dickins in Malone et al. (1966). The fauna is shown to be closer to Fauna II than Fauna III, and matches the fauna of the Sirius Formation and upper Cattle Creek Formation of the southwest Bowen Basin, and the Notostrophia zealandicus and N. homeri zones in the Takitimu Group of New Zealand. No other faunas of east Australia are known to be similar. New taxa are described as Aperispirifer crassiocostatus n. sp., Glyptoleda javesi n. sp.; Calcicanicularia glabra n. gen., n. sp. (Limidae) and Platyteichum omatum n. sp. The age is late Early Permian, probably Aktastinian, though possibly slightly younger.
