Abstract
The Porika Formation, type formation of the Porikan glacial stage, contains palynomorphs of early Pleistocene (Hautawan) age. The underlying Tadmor Group consists of the Moutere Gravel overlying the Glenhope Formation. Palynomorphs from the Moutere Gravel are assigned to the Waipipian-Hautawan (middle Pliocene-early Pleistocene) and from the Glenhope Formation are assigned to the ?Kapitean-Opoitian (Late Miocene-Early Pliocene), although basal beds may be a little older.
