The arguments relevant to the Australian situation have recently been reviewed by Horton (1980). Two factors, humans and climatic change, are most commonly cited. Merrilees (1968) states a case for man as a cause while Main (1978) has put an interesting case for climate. It was in the hope of shedding light on the timing and causes of megafaunal extinction that the Spring Creek site was excavated. Appendix 1 lists Museu

GEOLOGY, GEOLOGIC SETTING AND AGE The Spring Creek locality is situated in the valley of Spring Creek, a per- manent spring fed drainage that arises 2-3 kilometres southeast of Mt Rouse,. Fig. 1. Map showing location of the Spring Creek site: C = Caramut. H = Hamilton, M = Minhamite, P = Portland, Pe = Penshurst, W = Warnambool. The volcano just south of Penshurst is Mt. Rouse. The thick line = Spring Creek, the thin lines other waterways. X = the Spring Creek fossil locality. 386 Aust. Zool. 21(4). 1984.
