Taxonomy and stratigraphic importance of the Carboniferous miospore genus Vestispora
Result description
The paper provides a reviewand division of the Carboniferous miospore genus Vestispora. Twenty-nine dispersed species and all in situ records of Vestispora are reviewed, and one new combination and six synonymies are proposed. It is possible to recogniseeight groups based on morphological criteria, mainly varieties of perisporial sculpture. Geographic distribution and stratigraphic ranges are given for all 21 valid species. The earliest examples of Vestispora are from the Viséan (Brigantian-V. lucida)and the last occurrences are from the Stephanian B (late Kasimovian-V. fenestrata and V. cancellata). Most Vestispora species are stratigraphically important miospores, but generally only locally within a given basin or coalfield. Almost all species wereproduced by sphenophyllalean cones, whereas one in situ record of V. laevigata was described from a noeggerathialean plant of the genus Discinites.
