Abstract
Summary This paper is a geological and palaeobotanical study of the lacustrine sediments occurring in the Voras mountain range NNW of Aridaea, in Western Macedonia, Greece. The sediments are interstratified with Pliocene volcanics from the Almopias volcanic centres. Alternations of chert, pyroclastics, limestone, tuff and breccia overlie a metamorphic basement or trachyandesitic lavas and tuffs. Analysis of pollen in the lacustrine sediments indicates an Early Pliocene age. The most important species are Pinus haplostelle, Pinus diplostelle type, Taxodiaceae, Cupressaceae ( Taxodium, Sequoia ), cf. Quercus ( Scabratricolpites microhenrici, Tricolpopollenites henrici ), cf. Castanea, Symplocos, Nyssa, Liquidambar and Tsuga . Pollen analysis provides important clues to past climates and relief.
