Saccate pollen grains from the Lower Triassic of Hallstatt, Austria

Abstract

A dispersed miospore assemblage consisting of 8 miospore genera and 19 species is described from a shale of Werfen, Hallstatt, Austria. 6 species are new. Saccate pollen grains, the only constituents of this miofiora are abundantly represented. The predominant occurrence of Luekisporites (Pot. & K1.) Potonie and Gigantosporites klaus appears to be very characteristic for this assemblage.A brief comparison of the present miofiora with comparable ones has been given .
