RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Two trilobite taxa, Agnostus (Homagnostus) sp. and Pseudagnostus (Pseudagnostus) idalis huskissonensissubsp. nov. are described from the upper part of the Huskisson Group, western Tasmania. The only trilobite previously described from this level is the early Idamean (early Late Cambrian) zone fossil Glyptagnostus reticulatus. Palaeontological and stratigraphic evidence suggests that there may be a disconformity of very late Middle Cambrian age (about Lejopyge laevigata III Zone) within the Huskisson Group, which would correspond to a postulated disconformity of similar age from the Dundas Group at Dundas.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
