Over 200 samples from bore holes in the Perth Basin and the Collie–Wilga
Basins of Western Australia ranging from the Lower Permian to Upper Permian
were processed for pollen analysis. These yielded groups of pollen and spores that
represent the vegetation of the time.
Assemblages as well as individual species can also be used as markers signifying
specific stratigraphic horizons in time and space.
Over 70 species of pollen and spores are described in detail, some of those
described in earlier studies are compared with the ones in the present study, their
affinity discussed and some new forms of pollen previously unknown are also
described.
