.... Among the earliest thick phytodebris accumulations known, the occurrences lie within Pragian strata of the Val d'Amour Formation and Emsian strata of the Campbellton Formation of northern New Brunswick, and were deposited in low-energy wetlands where they were rapidly buried. Although the coaly shales...

... species of acritarchs including Gorgonisphaeridiumm granulobrachium Ottone, Lophosphaeridium ruidum Ottone, and Polygonium echinatus Ottone that are proposed as new; two species of prasinophytes, one of cryptospores and three different morphotypes of phytodebris are identified throughout the middle...

... by Lavender and Wellman (2002) . Phytodebris from coeval deposits in the Midland Valley of Scotland was described by Wellman (1995) . These samples are numbered beginning with CB. This tube ( Figs. 2C–F ) is assignable to P. annulatus Burgess and Edwards, 1991 ; it is 37.5 μm long and 21 μm wide...

... surface (more than 75%) ( Fig. 4 c). They are sometimes broken (less than 10%), and angular or subangular grains occur (less than 25%). The palynomorph assemblages contain much phytodebris (e.g. well-preserved tracheids), abundant terrestrial plant spores and relatively few marine elements...

... matter (AOM), structured phyto debris such as identifiable cuticles and tracheids, unstructured phytodebris (gelified matter) of non-woody plant remains and resinite, brown and black phytodebris (or opaque clasts including charcoal) and palynomorphs. The simplified scheme adapted from Batten (1996...

...–gray shale at 394.4 m contains a rich assemblage of well-preserved palynomorphs which are yellow in color. It includes numerous miospores, rarer megaspores, numerous phytodebris of various sizes, well-preserved colorless acritarchs, large Tasmanites (250–300 μm in diameter), and some chitinozoans...

... of diaspores are found in mud (347 in C1I) and coarse sand (239 in C2E). In addition, the sediment-free phytodebris contains fewer fruits and seeds (411 in C1G) than bedload carpodeposits. Floristic lists compiled from the carpological assemblages consist of 40 to 60 taxa. This compares to the 70 to 90...

... and plants preserved as hollow straws, which pass upwards into massive chert which is rich in three-dimensionally preserved plants. In detail, matrix chert in the massive chert layers comprises amorphous organic-rich clots plus degraded but identifiable phytodebris (microscopic wood fragments and cuticle...

...Fig. 2. Clotted texture in Windyfield chert, showing amorphous organic-rich “clots” containing fragments of arthropod cuticle (top right) and coprolites and degraded phytodebris (centre), and locally traversed by fungal hyphae (centre and bottom right). Specimen RW20, slide A1-3. ...
