Palynostratigraphy of the Bookpurnong Beds and related late Miocene- early Pliocene facies in the central west Murray Basin, part 2: spores and pollens

Abstract

Fossil spores and pollen preserved in the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene Bookpurnong beds and correlatives of the central west Murray Basin allow a new palynological zone to be recognized: the Monotocidites geleatus Zone. In vertical succession, the zone overlies the late Early-Late Miocene Triporopollenites bellus Zone and underlies as yet unzoned Late Pliocene-Pleistocene palynosequences. -from Authors Show more
