Selden, P.A., & Beattie, R.G. 2013. A spider fossil from the Jurassic Talbragar Fossil Fish Bed of New South Wales. Alcheringa 37, 201–206. ISSN 0311-5518. The oldest fossil spider from Australia is described as Talbragaraneus jurassicus gen. et sp. nov., from the Jurassic Talbragar Fossil Fish Bed of central New South Wales. Though rather poorly preserved, the single juvenile or female specimen has an excavated, laterally compressed dorsal side to the fourth metatarsus, reminiscent of members of the extant family Uloboridae, to which the fossil is tentatively referred.
