Abstract
Of the four samples submitted for palynological analysis from the open cut at the Great Greta Colliery, two yielded plant microfossil assemblages of Early Permian age. Both assemblages belong to the APP 32 palynozone of Price (1997). Key species include: Praecolpatites sinuosus, Phaselisporites cicatricosa, Bascanisporites undosus, Barakarites rotatus, Protohaploxypinus spp., Marsupipollenites triradiatus, and Granulatisporites trisinus. Deposition occurred in a non-marine environment, as indicated by the occurrence of algal remains of Botryococcus sp. and Peltacystia sp. An index species, Camptotriletes biornatus Balme & Hennelly 1956, first described from the Greta Coal Measures, was not found in these two assemblages. These assemblages are younger than those reported from the Greta Coal Measures intersected in Tangorin DM DDH2, as they contain the index of the immediately overlying zone, Praecolpatites sinuosus (Balme & Hennelly) Bharadwaj & Srivastava 1969. Foster (in Roberts et al. 1996, pp. 407-411) has summarised the distribution of the APP32 within the Greta Coal Measures
