In order to investigate exact solutions in general relativistic cosmology, one usually assumes the spacetime possesses symmetry. Here, we study exact solutions for the Petrov four-parameter Lie groups G4, acting on nonnull hypersurfaces where the energy-momentum tensor is that of a pressureless perfect fluid (a so-called 'dust'). We find that the preponderance of solutions are for a spacelike dust and, in several cases, are able to give their explicit forms. Among these are spacelike versions of previously known timelike matter cosmological models.
