title: Environmental Significance of Palynomorphs from Lower Eocene Sediments of Arkansas.
abstract: Spores and pollen present in sediments of the lower Eocene Wilcox group in south-central Arkansas are mixed temperate and tropical genera. The source area is postulated to have been temperate highlands adjacent to a tropical coastal plain. A similar interpretation based on plant megafossils has been made. Hystrichosphaerids and dinoflagellates found in the sediments suggest a depositional environment of brackish water.
