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. Among many other topics presented are
the sedimentation and geothermal alteration of palynomorphs, and
palynofacies analysis. An appendix describes laboratory methods.
The glossary, bibliographies and index are useful tools for study
of the literature.
