Pl. 3, Fig. 6, Pl. 5, Fig. 1

M a t e r i a l. Infructescence from layer GLAz (MGPTPU141024). Alnus pollen grains were observed in all pollen samples.

R e m a r k s. The ovate infructescence with many long bracts is diagnostic of the genus Alnus , but determination to the species level is generally not possible, and in any case, the analysis should involve all similar specimens from the surroundings of Alba ( Martinetto et al. 2000). Alnus pollen grains are well preserved and very common.
