Monosulcate angiosperm pollen from the López de Bertodano formation (upper Campanian-Maastrichtian-Danian) of Seymour island, Antarctica

Monosulcate angiosperm pollen are very rare in the uppermost Campanian-Maaastrichtian-lower Danian López de Bertodano Formation of Seymour Island, Antarctica. Nine species are described, including two new species, Clavamonocolpites polygonalis sp. nov. and Gemmamonocolpites pilulus sp. nov. Other fo...

More Information
Summary:Monosulcate angiosperm pollen are very rare in the uppermost Campanian-Maaastrichtian-lower Danian López de Bertodano Formation of Seymour Island, Antarctica. Nine species are described, including two new species, Clavamonocolpites polygonalis sp. nov. and Gemmamonocolpites pilulus sp. nov. Other forms include five species of Liliacidites, one species of Arecipites, and Clavatipollenites hughesii Couper. They document the presence in the Cretaceous-Tertiary Antarctic Peninsula area of Chloranthaceae, Liliaceae (or other monocotyledons angiosperms) and possible Palmae.
