A Miospore assemblage from the Liassic coal of Cresten, Austria

Abstract

A dispersed miospore assemblage comprising 10 miospore genera and 14 species, of which 4 species are new, has been described from the Liassic coal of Cresten, Austria. The miofiora is qualitatively impoverished and peculiar by lacking the nonstriated saccate pollen grains which are so well associated with other miofioras of the comparable age. A brief comparison of this assemblage has been given with comparable miofioras. From this, it appears that the present assemblage may be an incomplete representation of the whole miofiora of its time.
