Abstract
A channel sample through the Nether Lount Seam at Coalfield Farm Opencast Site, Leicestershire has been analysed in terms of coal lithotype. Samples through the seam have yielded on maceration abundant megaspores mainly of the genera Setosisporites, Tuberculatisporites, Laevigatisporites, Lagenicula, Cystosporites, Zonalesporites and Triangulatisporites. Their abundance in absolute and relative terms was recorded and the data plotted in terms of the distribution of parent plants. The relationships between coal types and megaspore assemblages, and the use of megaspores for determining detailed lycopod palaeocology (in particular succession) of the peat (coal) deposits, is briefly discussed.
