- Abstract
- A spore zonation scheme comprising fifty-one zones is proposed for the marine Devonian strata of the Ardenne-Rhenish regions of Western Europe. The zonation comprises a series of Oppel and interval-type zones and these are closely intercalibrated with the associated marine faunal zonations to give a seventy-five level scale of correlation for the Devonian succession. The spore zonation provides stratigraphical dating of the Devonian megafloras of the region, particularly those from the Lower and Middle Devonian. The proposed spore zonation is closely compared with that erected for the Devonian of the Old Red Sandstone Continent.
