Koobor notabilis (de Vis, 1889)

Fig. 7B .

Material.— QM F691 (holotype, left maxillary fragment) probably from Chinchilla , Australia, Pliocene ; QM F8976 (P3) from between “Col’s Knob” and “Liz’s Hill”, Chinchilla Rifle Range , Australia, Pliocene .

Remarks.— De Vis (1889c) described a maxillary fragment, probably from Chinchilla (see discussion in Archer 1977), as Pseudochirus? notabilis . Archer (1977) re-assigned it to Koobor , and referred another specimen (QM F8976) of definite Chinchilla provenance to the species. Koobor was assigned to Phascolarctidae by Black et al. (2012a).

Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Pliocene; eastern Australia.
