Hi everyone, I've been working on a project about fossilised megaspores found in a Namurian (Late Carboniferous) coal seam in the UK. There are very few papers and photographs of megaspores so classification is a challenge! I have a couple of my unidentified specimens here that have been extracted from the coal, and was wondering if anyone could help me out? Light microscope images are attatched. The maximum diameter of the compressed spore is 1125 µm for Species A, and 1225 µm for Species B. I believe that the depositional environment was a Late Carboniferous swamp forest, dominated by arborescent lycopsids. All the best, Eloise

Shakum, J. D., 2018. Pollen weighs in on a climate conundrum Science News and Views, Paleoclimate, January 31, 2018 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-00943-4 "Simulations by climate models show that Earth warmed during the Holocene epoch, whereas ocean sedimentary cores suggest that global cooling occurred. An analysis of fossil pollen samples now sides with the models." Jeremiah Marsicek, Bryan N. Shuman, Patrick J. Bartlein, Sarah L.

Hi friends. Im from Iran and currently working on thesis for my masters. I also have bachelor in software engineering and have good experiences in image processing and neural networks and programing. so I hope can do good tasks on paleontology using computer. actually we mostly have microfossils. my interests are mostly benthic foraminifera and palynomorphs. I know TFF for a long time but just started activities here. _________________ Edit: Attachment is a photo of a cretaceous thin section which I make by stitching few microscopic images together to get larger picture. BTW It seems no body here works on thin sections, microfacies and ...
