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

ARCHIVED

Created 20/01/2025

Updated 20/01/2025

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 galeatus Zone. In vertical succession, the zone overlies the late Early-Late Miocene Triporopollenites bellus Zone and underlies as yet unzoned Late Pliocene-Pleistocene palynosequences. Species described as new herein include: Densoisporites implexus, D. simplex, Rhoipites ampereaformis, R. cissus, R. muehlenbeckiaformis, R. risus, Myrtaceidites lipsis, Proteacidites punctiporus, Malvacipollis regattaensis, Monotocidites galeatus, and Acaciapollenites weissii.
