Devonian mioflora from P'oshi district (Yunnan),China.

Abstract

An assemblage consisting of miospores, chitinozoa and scolecodonts has been described from the Devonian of P'oshi District of Yunnan. The miospore flora comprises few, simple, apiculate triletes, dominant triletes with equatorial thickening mainly represented by Cymbosporites Allen, and certain spinose trilete genera with spines having anchor-shaped apex. Chitinozoa are fairly abundant while scolecodonts are rare. Detailed comparisons with other Devonian assemblages have suggested a Middle Devonian age for the present assemblage.
