Abstract
"The purpose of this study is to describe and illus trate the miospore, acritarch, and Tasmanites assemblages which are present in the Lower Mississippian Hannibal Formation of northeast Missouri and western Illinois, and to determine the botanical, stratigraphical, and paleo-ecological significance of the assemblages. This research project was initiated in the summer of 1964 under the direction of Dr. J. M. Wood who foresaw the need to fill the void in palynological information regarding the occurrence of Mississippian miospores in Missouri sediments. The present study is the first report on the Lower Mississippian miospores of Missouri and Illinois. The one other report concerned with Lower Mississippian miospores in the United States is that of Winslow (1962). An abundant acritarch assemblage is reported here for the first time from the Lower Mississippian strata of North America."--Page 2.
