Paleopalynology, second edition, provides profusely illustrated
treatment of fossil palynomorphs, including spores, pollen,
dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs, chitinozoans, scolecodonts, and
various microscopic fungal and algal dispersal bodies. The book
serves both as a student text and general reference work.
Palynomorphs yield information about age, geological and biological
environment, climate during deposition, and other significant
factors about the enclosing rocks. Extant spores and pollen are
treated first, preparing the student for more difficult work with
fossil sporomorphs and other kinds of palynomorphs. Recognizing
that palynomorphs occur together in rocks because of chemical
robustness and stratigraphic distribution, not biological
relationship, the central sections are organized stratigraphically.
