Abstract
Summary The results of a re-examination and palynological study of the lower part of the Carboniferous succession of Ravenstonedale, Westmorland, north-west England are presented. A new assessment of the thickness of the Carboniferous sequence is given and the evidence for the position of the Tournaisian-Visean boundary is discussed. The distribution of twenty-seven miospore species identified in five samples from the Pinskey Gill Beds, basal Carboniferous of Ravenstonedale, is listed. Ten of the species are illustrated. On the basis of previously published records of the species it is shown that the beds are of Tournaisian age.
