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. |
