LOPINGIAN (LATE PERMIAN) PALYNOMORPHS FROM THE CADEBY FORMATION, CADEBY QUARRY, YORKSHIRE, UK

Seventeen samples from the Cadeby Formation (Lopingian, Permian, EZ1) of Quarry near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK, yielded organic residues including phytoclasts, cuticle, unstructured tissue and generally well-preserved palynomorphs. The palynomorph assemblages are dominated by taeniate non-taeniate bisaccate pollen Klausipollenites schaubergeri, Limitisporites rectus, Lueckisporites virkkiae Taeniaesporites noviaulensis. similar to those English Midlands described Kimberley Railway Cutting Haughton Hall Borehole, Nottinghamshire Marl Slate (lower Durham Sub-basin at Claxheugh Rock Crime Rigg mid EZ1 Salterford Farm Borehole Woolsthorpe Bridge Borehole. excellent preservation allows recognition that Dicappipollenites Tiwari & Vijaya 1995 is a junior synonym Potonié Klaus emend.
