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

本研究项目的主要目的是重建南极洲詹姆斯罗斯岛盆地坎帕尼亚至始新世的植物历史，主要基于孢型。在西摩岛和詹姆斯罗斯岛盆地部分邻近岛屿的近岸海相到海岸/三角洲地层剖面中，礁岩分布广泛。它们包括鞭毛藻囊和栖藻（海洋浮游微植物）、其他海洋和淡水藻类、陆地植物的花粉和孢子以及真菌残骸。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-第三纪地质历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.
