Taxodium / Glyptostrobus- type

Pl. 5, Fig. 12

M a t e r i a l. Taxodium / Glyptostrobus - type pollen grains are very abundant.

R e m a r k s. Although the pollen morphology of both Taxodium and Glyptostrobus has been accurately described (e.g., Bouchal and Denk 2020) it is still very difficult to distinguish Taxodium from Glyptostrobus under the optical microscope. Both taxa (and their abundances) are, however, indicative of swamp environment.Among the macroremains, the former is represented by T. dubium (STERNB.) HEER and the latter by G. europaeus (BRONGN.) UNGER (see below).
