RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Tertiaty lake sediments at Wilmot Dam, northwestern Tasmania, are dated as Lower Proteacidites tuberculatus Zone, based on the palynological zonation developed for the Gippsland Basin in eastern Bass Strait. The age limits of Early-Middle Oligocene for this zone are in excellent agreement with a K/Ar date of 26.7 Ma for basalts capping this deposit. Three new species are described: Tricolpites stylidioides, Mutisiapollis patersonii and Periporopollenites hexaporus. The first two appear to be the earliest records to date of Stylidiaceae and Mutisia
(Asteraceae:tribe Mutisieae) respectively.

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.
