No, we weren't auditioning for the Village People, but we were collecting a 7000 year-old lake core from #Mboandong #Cameroon in Dec 1981. 39 years later the #pollen story was finally submitted to a proper journal #PoA Gosh, time flies!

We have a number of great talks lined up! https://t.co/yKwDi8QEzJ #PalynologyForThePeople

[Nichola Strandberg @FossilPollen]

You can still register to watch the final session of Palynology Short Talks tomorrow at 14:00 BST 22/06/2021 😀🔬 🌺https://t.co/tpYuiTIsRT

@palynojen The fungal thing is Tetraploa. It is a parasitic group linked to grasses and sedges. 🤔

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@FossilPollen One possibility is Calophyllum. C. inophyllum is a common coastal tree in your area. Other species occur in various forest types including peat swamp.

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@Ckiahtipes As Kasia suggests, the cyst is P. zoharyi. It's the most common dinocyst in GoM coastal waters. See Edwards & Willard 2001 USGS Report 01-415. And others too no doubt!

@GeorgeBiddulph2 Impatiens for me

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

I may not be alone but virtual conferences seem to follow some of the same patterns as in person ones. Day 1 arrive early, day 2 rush to arrive on time. But it's not a 30 min dash across an unfamiliar city, but only going from kitchen to computer! Day 3? #QRA2021 @QRAPompey2021

@FossilPollen That cross-like aperture configuration is very characteristic of Macaranga. I think that is quite probably what it is. Fits in well with other stuff like Trema that you've found.

@FossilPollen It looks to me like Pometia pinnata (Sapindaceae). https://t.co/pRaHu3DtBn view?order=asc

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@kalesniderman @FossilPollen @rebjham Looks like Trema to me! The pollen can be really common in secondary and regrowth forest in SE Asia and beyond!

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@FossilPollen Beautiful Barringtonia 😎

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@GeorgeBiddulph2 Glad I got it right! It's a really distinct grain... so good they named it twice! The fossil " form genus/name" is Pachydermites diederixi. It is useful for correlation during the Late Miocene to present day. About 6 Million years. A good effort for a grain of pollen 😀

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@GeorgeBiddulph2 It looks like Symphonia globulifera.... Clusiaceae / Guttiferae. 🤔

[Keith Richards @vander_keith]

@ACMJulier @GavinWilliamson Similar sentiment from my mother in law, age 87. "I'd have expected better from an MP". (Me: but he's not an MP, he's just appointed). "Oh well, it that case he should definitely go!". I'm with her on that one.

@GeorgeBiddulph2 George, there's a good chance this could be Diospyros (Ebenaceae) #ebony #ebonyChec

George, there's a good chance this could be Diospyros (Ebenaceae) #ebony . Check out the photos in the @palaeolim RPP atlas.
