Contents

This Open File contains a digital data set of Late Jurassic to early Late Cretaceous palynomorphs from Western and Northern Canada (plus one locality in Montana) that has been compiled from both published literature and unpublished theses.  The data set includes occurrences of pollen, spores, dinoflagellates and acritarchs and includes literature from which palynomorphs could be securely related to 956 individual samples from 89 sections or wells.  The data were extracted from 12 publications and two Ph.D. theses, from which the range chart records were entered into StrataBugs, versions 1.5 and 1.6.
