Correlation of the Tournaisian miospore zonations of Poland and the British Isles
Abstract
Korelacja zon miosporowych turneju Polski i Wysp Brytyjskich
Many stratigraphically important Tournaisian miospore taxa occur in both Poland and Western Europe, permitting correlation of the miospore zonations in both regions at several stratigraphic levels, especially in the lower Tournaisian. Rather poor sample coverage in the middle part of the Polish Tournaisian, and rare occurrence of some late Tournaisian species of zonal importance make comparison with Western Europe difficult, though some tentative correlations are suggested.
