Palynological Characteristics of the Upper Visean Deposits from the Mstikhino Quarry, Kaluga Region

摘要

This paper is dedicated to a diversified description of the remarkable palynoassemblage from the Upper Visean deposits of the Mstikhino quarry in Kaluga region. The specific diversity of the palynoassem-blage is statistically analyzed. The palynoassemblage is assigned to the CBd Zone of Aleksinian regional stage. On the basis of distribution of the key species of the Upper Visean miospores and foraminifers, the studied palynoassemblage was compared with zonal palynoassemblages from Great Britain, Germany, Donbass, and Central Poland.
