The Sanshui Basin is situated in the southwest ofGuangzhou, guangdong
Province. In this basin the Cretaceous and Early Tertiary continental
deposits are well-developed and may be divided into 8 formations based
on lithological and paleontological characters. Fossil pollen and spores
of earch formation are very abundant, and some of them occur in association
with Ostracods, Charophytes, Gastropods, Lamellibranchiats and Acritachs.
Palynology of the Cretaceous and Early Tertiary strata of the Sanshui
Basin should be very useful for relevant stratigraphic division and correlation
in South China.
According to the palynological ata, the deposits of the 8 formations reported
here range from Aptian to Early Oligocene in age.
This collection includes 165 genera and 398 species, among which 2 genera,
86 species and some combinations are new.
All specimens described in this paper were obtained from 925 samples of
many boreholes of th eSanshui Basin because Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary
strata rarely outerop in this area.
