Abstract

A palynological research project in the Permain, Triassic and Lower Jurassic of western Europe is briefly outlined. The project is aimed at the development and promotion of palynology as a primary tool in regional stratigraphical classification and correlation. A number of examples of specific topics currently under investigation are briefly discussed, viz. (1) a Cordaitina-assemblage from the Permian Collio Formation of northern Italy, (2) Late Permian megaspores from the Vicentinian Alps, Italy, (3) palynological assemblages from the Muschelkalk and Lettenkohle of Luxemburg, (4) a palynological reconnaissance study in the Keuper of Spain, (5) palynological assemblages from the uppermost Rhaetian of the Northern Limestone Alps in Germany, and (6) palynological assemblages from the Lower Jurassic of the Vicentinian Alps, Italy. It is emphasized that regional palynological studies should be integrated in international multidisciplinary stratigraphical projects.
