Most common are pollen grains of Ericaceae, fossil species Tricolporopollenites pseudocingulum , Nyssa ( Nyssapollenites and Nyssoidites rodderensis ), Quercus ( Quercoidites henricii and Quercopollenites ), Fagus , Mastixiaceae...

...FIGURE 12— Abundances of important pollen taxa in Wilkes Formation deposits in Lower Horseshoe Bend section WWU 1571. The change from TCT ( Taxodium ) and Nyssa dominance to a mixed composition (indicated by Pterocarya and Juglans and Alnus ) corresponds with a pronounced change...

Based on the plant taphonomy and the paleoecology of the plants, this plant...

... that were discarded on the site. The earliest occupation was brief, but the site was reoccupied between 5900 and 5300 cal B.P., when the floodplain had become a Taxodium / Nyssa swamp. Site deposits indicate intensive exploitation of oyster and to a lesser extent Rangia , which may have been closer...

... a Late Tertiary age interpretation for the clayey strata. The presence of taxa such as the Cyrillaceae, Nyssa , Sphagnum , Myriophyllum , and Pseudoschizaea in the uppermost Tertiary units indicates that these sediments accumulated in freshwater wetlands. Our interpretation of the depositional history...

... and Quercus. Consistently present in small percentages are Carya, Myrica, Taxodium, Liquidambar, and Nyssa. Results of this study are consistent with other studies indicating that the Silver Bluff terrace, which comprises the northern portion of St. Catherines Island, formed over 40,000 years ago following...

.... Grouping 2, a Nyssa – Taxodium swamp forest, is of relatively low diversity and is numerically dominated by Taxodiaceae pollen, probably derived from Taxodium type swamp cypresses growing in the intertidal zone, and Metasequoia types growing on flooplains. Nyssa types accompanied the taxodiaceous...
