The Campanian to Eocene Floral History of the James Ross Island Basin Antarctica

这项研究的主要目的是重建南极詹姆斯罗斯岛盆地的寒武纪到始新世的植物史，主要是基于孢粉形态。在西摩岛的近岸海相到海岸/三角洲地层段以及詹姆斯罗斯岛盆地的部分邻近岛屿中，孢子形体普遍存在并丰富。它们包括甲藻孢囊和甲藻(海洋微型浮游植物)、其他海洋和淡水藻类、来自陆地植物的花粉和孢子以及真菌遗骸。该项目是西摩岛孢粉学持续研究的一部分，并与南极白垩纪-第三纪地质史的其他方面的研究相结合。

The primary objective of this research project is to reconstruct the Campanian to Eocene floral history of the James Ross Island Basin, Antarctica, based mainly on palynomorphs. Palynomorphs occur throughout and are abundant in the nearshore marine to coastal/deltaic stratigraphic section of Seymour Island and parts of adjacent islands in the James Ross Island Basin. They include dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs (marine microphytoplankton), other marine and freshwater algae, pollen and spores from land- plants and fungal remains. This project is part of a continuing study on Seymour Island palynology, and is integrated with studies on other aspects of antarctic Cretaceous-Tertiary geologic history.
