Abstract:
Two new species of megadermatid bats (Macroderma godthelpi and an unnamed taxon) are described from middle Miocene limestone deposits on Riversleigh Station, northwestern Queensland and their probable phylogentic positions within the Megadermatidae are discussed. The new Riversleigh species appear to be representatives of two separate megadermatid lineages. Consideration is given to the significance of the Australian forms within a world context. The Riversleigh material has also prompted a re-evaluation of morphological characters used to determine limits for fossil megadermatids. To facilita

Abstract:
The Giant Rat Kangaroos (Ekaltadeta, Propleopus) were placed in a new subfamily the Propleopinae by Archer and Flannery (1985). The discovery of new Ekaltadeta material from Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland has stimulated a review of propleopine phylogeny. Cladistic analysis of five propleopine taxa suggests possible paraphyly for Ekaltadeta and polyphyly for Propleopus. A new species of Miocene propleopine, Ekaltadeta jamiemulvaneyi n. sp., from system C local faunas at Riversleigh, is described.

Abstract:
Thylacinus macknessi is described from Miocene sediments of Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland. Comparisons with other thylacinids and dasyurids reveal it to be a new species of Thylacinus. In most features it is as specialised as T. cynocephalus and it is not considered to be ancestral to any other taxon. The presence of such a specialised thylacine in the Riversleigh deposits argues for a pre-Late Oligocene divergence of this group from the Dasyuridae.

Yarala burchfieldi n. gen. and sp. is described from Oligo-Miocene deposits of Riversleigh Station, northwestern Queensland. Although the smallest and most plesiomorphic bandicoot known, it shares unique synapomorphies with other peramelemorphs, such as the posteriorly orientated preparacrista on M2, posterolingual location of the hypoconulids, and the buccal position of the centrocrista. However, Y. burchfieldi lacks synapomorphies that would unambiguously allow it to be placed in any of the modern families as currently understood. In its plesiomorphic features, Y. burchfieldi provides a stru

Extinct species of Malleodectes gen. nov. from Middle to Late Miocene deposits of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, northwestern Queensland, Australia are enigmatic, highly specialized, probably snail-eating marsupials. Dentally, they closely resemble a bizarre group of living heterodont, wet forest scincid lizards from Australia ( Cyclodomorphus ) that may well have outcompeted them as snail-eaters when the closed forests of central Australia began to decline. Although there are scincids known from the same Miocene deposits at Riversleigh, these are relatively plesiomorphic, generalized fe

Fourteen of the best sampled Oligo-Miocene local faunas from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, north-western Queensland, Australia are analysed using classification and ordination techniques to identify potential mammalian palaeocommunities and palaeocommunitytypes. Abundance data for these faunas are used, for the first time, in conjunction with presence/absence data. An early Miocene Faunal Zone B and two middle Miocene Faunal Zone C palaeocommunities are recognised, as well as one palaeocommunity type.

Abstract:
A new genus and species of thylacinid, Muribacinus gadiyuli, is described from Miocene deposits of Riversleigh in northwestern Queensland. Muribacinus gadiyuli shares six character states associated with carnassialisation common among thylacinids, but is uniformly less derived for each. The closest affinities of this species lie with another plesiomorphic thylacinid from Riversleigh, Nimbacinus dicksoni. Two previously recognised thylacinid synapomorphies are reconsidered in the light of new evidence. A growing body of molecular and fossil data indicates that the modern dasyurid radiation is a

The palaeoecology of selected fossil sites from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, northwestern Queensland, Australia, was studied with the aim of describing the palaeohabitats of the sites through the use of characteristics of mammalian community structure. Taphonomic analyses were carried out to determine whether the study sites represent allochthonous or autochthonous assemblages. Subsequently, ecological attributes of the mammalian fossil assemblages were inferred from functional morphology.

The single largest collection of pseudocheirid fossils has been recovered from the Oligo-Miocene freshwater carbonates of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in northwest Queensland.

Abstract:
Wombats (Vombatidae, Marsupialia) are fossorial marsupials that are most closely related to koalas amongst living marsupials. The cheek teeth of wombats are unique amongst Australian marsupials in being hypselodont (the condition where the teeth continue to grow throughout life and the formation of roots is suppressed). Hypselodonty is an adaptation to high degrees of tooth wear. The fossil record of vombatids is largely restricted to Pliocene to recent deposits and is largely represented by isolated teeth. Six genera are currently recognised from these deposits, all of which have hypselodont
