Abstract
A rock sample from the Lettergesh Formation, most probably from the centrifugus Zone of the early Wenlock on graptolite evidence, has yielded microfossils including spores, most of which occur in tetrads. The spores are described and illustrated and are compared with Ambitisporites avitus Hoffmeister.Keywords
