Palynology of Permian shale, clay and sandstone clasts from the Basen till in northern Vestfjella, Dronning Maud Land
The palynological content of randomly collected sedimentary rock clasts from the till on the south-east slope of the Basen nunatak in northern Vestfjella in western Dronning Maud Land indicate that these sedimentary rocks were derived from strata of Middle Permian age. The palynological content and...
