Abstract

Details are given of the stratigraphically earliest records of tectate columellate angiospermid pollen from the Wealden and from other early Cretaceous through-successions in southern and eastern England, and of their distribution in Early Barremian and Hauterivian time. Also described are two new pollen types of unknown affinity from immediately below the angiospermid pollen occurrences. No new formal taxa are proposed for the comparison records and biorecords described. Most of the pollen described is of less than 25 μm mean diameter, and it has been studied by strew-search on gridded stubs on a Scanning Electron Microscope. Implications for biologic classification are briefly discussed.
