8405.1 - Forked, curved chisel; one end is well-hammered into a smoothly-curving surface. Use on mine rails, likely to lift rails by means of lever-action around railway spikes.

8404.1 - Chisel meant to be hammered into a rock face.

8403.1 - Crowbar- one end, bent, flattened and forked. The other mostly flattened, but also bent.

8402.1 - It's a crowbar- forked end, bent, other end merely flattened.

8401.1 - As you'd expect: shard of metal with asymmetrically flattened head.

8400.1 to 9 - Conglomeration of nails, thick and rusted. Some are bent around others

8388.1 - Brass-faced spring-balance scales, with hook and rope-ring, rated up to 200 pounds.- Salter's spring balance No 20 made in England - Silvester's (?) patent to weigh 200lb

Calibration tests were made June 29th, 1909, all else is unknown.8386.1 - Biram's anemometer, 6 inch diameter, 5 dials, ten blades. "No. 1544," with wooden case and hand written note detailing applicable corrections after calibration tests.

Donated by Rosalind Hodgeson. Her grandfather was a mine inspector in Scotland and northern England.8385.1 - Book detailing a mine fireman's necessary knowledge.

8384.1 - Large steel protractor.- Troughton and simms, London. - G.H.G.

8383.1 - Brass protractor, marked down to 1, and with compass points- T.Bottoms

8382.1 - Metal (likely steel) protractor, marked down to 0.5, used mostly in map drafting. 8382.2 - Wooden red velvet-lined case.- Flavelle bros and Roberts, Sydney and Brisbane. - 6692 a s x- similar marks were made and scratched out. - a h x

8317.1 - Overall rectangular mudstone containing fragments of fossilised wood and carbonised plant matter.

8316.1 - Small mudstone rock containing fragments of fossilised wood and plant matter.

8315.1 - Pale grey concretion accompanied by darker grey and weathered fragments of its surrounding shell, in explicable placed on coarse sand in a wooden tray.

8314.1 - Irregularly shaped stone containing large concretion and numerous carbonised plant fossils.

813.1 - Tan coloured, flattened but highly ovoid concretion. Partial cross-sectional fracture reveals concretion's internal structure of sedimentary ring layers.

Formed by sedimentary processes. 8312.1 - Rock split in half lengthways, revealing in both kidney-shaped halves a sedimentary concretion, itself split into un equal halves via cross-sectional fractures. The larger concretion fragment reveals a small carbonised plant fossil.

8311.1 - Small quartz-rich conglomerate, ovoid in shape, white on most surfaces, brown on weathered surfaces.

8310.1 - Quartz-rich conglomerate, irregular in shape, white, browned on weathered surfaces.

8309.1 - Small piece of mostly likely diorite, stone is half white plagioclase and quartz, half dark fine-grained minerals.

8308.1 - Flattened and overall rectangular; dark blue-grey layered mudstone with white veins of quartz showing multiple stages of secondary mineralisation.

8307.1 - 'Rounded rectangle' shaped piece of highly weathered bluestone/basalt. Yellowish-green; criss-crossed by prominent white veins of secondary quartz mineralisation. 'Bandage' bearing the words "miss Western" stuck on one side.- miss Western

largely unknown; ultimately originated as part of series of basaltic volcanic events across victoriaClearly a fragment of a river rock- one surface is smooth and curved the others planar. Mineralogy is basalt-"bluestone"-with white veins of secondary quartz minralisation

8305.1 - Small opaque white flattened ovoid crystalline pebble showing rhomboidal cleavage planes typical of calcite.

8304.1 - Curiously dark rhyolite or rhyolitic volcanic rock. Coarse-grained feldspar quartz crystals within five-grained dark groundmass.

8303.1 - Angular piece of sandstone; irregularly shaped; flattened profile largest flat surface fresher than others (less weathered) otherwise unremarkable.

8302.1 - Irregularly-shaped piece of ordinary sandstone.
