The Keilor cranium was discovered by James White in October 1940 while excavating a sand deposit near the junction of the Maribyrnong River and Dry Creek, about 2 km north of Keilor, Victoria (Mahony 1943:3).
Unlike Talgai the geological context of the Keilor skeleton was known and the cranial vault was free of distortion.
Keilor is fairly well preserved, lacking only the temporal segments of both zygomatic arches, a large section of the right side of the basicranium and anterior dentition.
