Abstract

A total of 38 genera and 73 species of dispersed fungi including 8 genera of microthyriaceous ascocarps and 30 genera of spores were investigated. Two new genera ( Dicellaeporisporites, Jansoniisporites) and 19 new species are described. The distribution in the fungal assemblages is diverse with some species being restricted to only one sample and others to just a few samples. This is reflected in low Coefficient of Floristic Similarity Indices. An age of Late Paleocene to Early Eocene and a mesothermal humid climate can be inferred from the fungal assemblage. The possible affinities of some genera and species to modern taxa are suggested.
