2019, Journal of African Earth SciencesCitation Excerpt :This formation is amply fossiliferous, with preserved ammonites, echinoids, crinoids, crabs, fish teeth, bryozoans, abundant benthic foraminifera, palynomorphs, etc. (Zaborski, 1983, 1999; Reyment in Nwajide, 2013). The lithofacies and fossils have been used to infer marine to marginal marine depositional conditions for this formation (Zaborski, 1983; Edet and Nyong, 1993; Odunze et al., 2013). The Mamu Formation is characterized by a rhythmic succession of shale/sandy shale, sand, carbonaceous shale interbedded with coal, and is capped by sandy shale (Simpson, 1954; Nwajide, 2013).
Palynoassemblages associated with a theropod dinosaur from the Snow Hill Island Formation (lower Maastrichtian) at the Naze, JamesRoss Island, Antarctica
2013, Cretaceous ResearchCitation Excerpt :Some of these angiosperms are recorded herein in low frequencies (Fig. 3), such as the pollen of Palmae (e.g., Liliacidites, Longapertites) that suggests warm to temperate conditions in frost-free lowland areas. Palmae pollen was transported by rivers close to the marine environment, as they are not usually transported far from their habitat (e.g., Edet and Nyong, 1993; Chart 2 supplementary online information). The occurrence of isolated and fragmented ascocarps of epiphyllous fungi of Microthyriaceae affinity in three specific levels (Fig. 3) of this section indicates a warm and humid climate in the surrounding terrestrial environments (e.g., Duane, 1996; Kalgutkar and Braman, 2008).
