Abstract

Forreconstruction of a paleoenvironment of marine coastal areas, micropaleontological and palynological investigations have been conducted along with other geochemical and sedimentological researches. Sediments provided for that research always contain a number of organic-walled microfossils generally called marine palynomorphs as wells pollen grains and fern spores. These marine palynomorphs mainly consist of dinoflagellate cysts, phycoma of prasinophycean algae, microforaminiferal linings, and acritarch. In this article, their biological aspects are briefly explained, and some examples of biostratigraphical and paleoenvironmental studies on the basis of these fossils in the Quaternary are introduced.
