N1 - Funding Information:
This research was conducted at the University of Western Australia School of Earth and Environment, supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. This work represents part of a larger project investigating the palynoflora, palaeoenvironments and stratigraphic successions of the Laminaria High and Vulcan Sub-basin. It incorporates unpublished descriptive observations and plate figures from Dr. Natalie Sinclair's Doctoral Thesis (Sinclair, 2012). The authors wish to thank the two reviewers of the original manuscript for their feedback which has undoubtedly improved this article. Thanks is given to Assoc. Prof. Peta Clode of the University of Western Australia CMCA for her assistance with the technical aspects of SEM imaging techniques. SEM imaging was partially funded by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists David Worthington Grant.

N2 - The palynological assemblages of 134 legacy and 212 new palynological preparations from the Callovian–Kimmeridgian of the North West Shelf of Western Australia, were used to identify new species of dinoflagellate cysts with biostratigraphic utility. Samples were derived from cores and sidewall cores from nine wells; four from the Bonaparte Basin, and five from the Northern Carnarvon Basin. This work describes 11 new species of dinoflagellate cyst, one species of acritarch, and emends the descriptions of two genera and five species of dinoflagellate cyst. The new forms include: Batiacasphaera elongata, Cleistosphaeridium? oxfordianum, Egmontodinium twiggii, Evansia? rotundata, Jansonia thormalleus, Lanterna foveolata, Lanterna reticulata, Lanterna spongiosa, Orobodinium tantillum, Oligosphaeridium? varifenestratum, and Sepispinula florida, and the acritarch Triovalium attenuatum. Emendations are proposed for the genera Lanterna and Tringadinium, and the species Broomea fusticula, Egmontodinium toryna, Pyxidiella pandora, Microdinium jurassicum, Jansonia jurassica, and Tringadinium bjaerkei.
