Abstract Testate amoebae are a frequently used palaeoecological proxy for reconstructing changes in palaeohydrological conditions, particularly studies of Sphagnum -dominated peatlands. Their use has increased following the development transfer functions, allowing quantitative reconstruction water-table depth through time. Increasingly, they included non-pollen palynomorph (NPP) alongside wide ...

Microremains of fungi from Neogene deposits the Gray Fossil Site (Tennessee, United States) and Bełchatów Lignite Mine (Poland), similar to enigmatic fossil-species Kutchiathyrites eccentricus R.K. Kar, 1979, were reconsidered as representatives modern mitosporic genus Mycoenterolobium Goos, 1970. A new combination, eccentricum (R.K. Kar) G. Worobiec, n. comb., is proposed. The geographical str...

This work introduces one of the first palynostatigraphic study conducted on formations from Eocene and overlying lowermost Miocene successions (Cunga Quifangondo formations) exposed in Onshore Kwanza Basin, Angola. To improve Cunga age, new biostratigraphic correlations palaeoenvironmental interpretations based qualitative quantitative analyses organic walled dinoflagellate cysts sedimentary ro...

An 8500-year record of high-resolution pollen, non-pollen palynomorph, microscopic charcoal and selected geochemical data (Ti, Zr Pb) is presented from an ombrotrophic mire the Xistral Mountains, Galicia, North-West Iberia. The results suggest that vegetation changes over last eight millennia are primarily result human disturbance, fire climate change. Climate were main factors influencing deve...

Pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs were analysed from 35 modern moss cushions collected along an altitudinal gradient (2225–2552 m a.s.l.) the Baramulla District of Jammu Kashmir State (Western Himalaya), India. The selected sampling altitude is at elevation appearance blue pine (Pinus wallichiana) West Himalayan spruce or morinda (Picea smithiana). We used cluster analysis principal component ...

Palynological analysis of pollen, Pteridophyta spores and algae deposited in the superficial sediments at Lagoa de Cima and Lagoa do Campelo Lakes, located in the north of Rio de Janeiro state, was used to determine the spatial variation of the palynomorphs deposition. A total of 67 pollen types were identified at Lagoa de Cima, with an expressive contribution of regional arboreous taxa, hydrop...

This study focuses on the thermal maturity of Permian deposits from Zagros Basin, Southwest Iran, employing both optical methods (Thermal Alteration Index, Palynomorph Darkness Vitrinite Reflectance, UV Fluorescence) and geochemical analyses organic matter (Rock Eval Pyrolysis MicroRaman spectroscopy) applied to Faraghan Formation along two investigated Darreh Yas Kuh e surface sections. Furthe...

Planktonic foraminifera and major palynomorph groups (i.e. terrestrial, marine, and amorphous organic matter) of the Campanian-Selandian strata of the Gurpi Formation were studied to evaluate the changes in the Zagros paleobasin in southwestern Iran. Planktonic foraminifera were categorized into four morphotypes according to their paleodepth, extending from Morphotype 1, comprising surface gene...

New boreholes have enabled, for the first time, extensive palynological sampling through entire Lopingian Zechstein sequence of northeast England. Palynomorph assemblages been recovered from throughout all five evaporation-replenishment cycles (EZ1–EZ5). These are dominated by pollen grains, with rare trilete spores, and even rarer marine forms such as acritarchs foraminiferal test linings. The...

Outcrop samples were collected from Dukku area for the purpose of subjecting them to palynological analysis in order determine relative age Gwandu Formation and palaeoenvironment deposition deposit. Field laboratory methods carried out obtain lithological sequence description outcrop. The obtained went through processes acid digestion with hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric separation macerals by ...
