Occurrence of fossil bamboo pollen and a fungal conidium of Tetraploa cf. aristata in Upper Miocene deposits of Józefina (Poland)

Epiphyllous fungi from Miocene deposits of the Bełchatów Lignite Mine (Central Poland)

“…Five Fructifications of epiphyllous fungi have been rarely reported from the tertiary deposits of Poland, usually as a result of palynological investigations (Macko 1957, Szafer 1961, Kita 1963, Ziembińska & Niklewski 1966, Łańcucka-Środoniowa 1966, 1979, Juchniewicz 1970, Jahn et al 1984, Stuchlik et al 1990, Worobiec 2003a, b, 2014, Worobiec & Gedl 2010, Szulc & Worobiec 2012. Only Worobiec (2003a) carried out detailed investigations on Neogene epiphyllous fungi and described an association of fungal fructifications (Microthyriacites sp., Phragmothyrites sp., Plochmopeltinites sp., and Trichothyrites sp.)…”

Tetraploa aristata Berkeley & Broome (Fungi, Pleosporales), a new taxon to Poland

“…Tetraploa aristata was also found in Poland in the Upper Miocene deposits of Józefina (Worobiec et al 2009) and in sediments of the Go³êbiewo I site (a peat bog in the Gdañsk Uplands) and occurrence of its conidia was dated back to about 4200-3700 yrs cal. BP (Pêdziszewska 2008).…”

“…According to Worobiec et al (2009) the presence of Tetraploa aristata in fossil pollen spectra indicates a warm temperate climate. Sharma (1976), Saxena and Sarkar (1986) and Worobiec et al (2009) found fossil conidia of…”

Pliocene freshwater pollen-bearing deposits in the Mizerna-Nowa borehole, West Carpathians, Poland

“…7B). How ever, some of the plant taxa and Tetraploa fungi en coun tered have re cently oc curred in ar eas with a mild cli mate (Worobiec et al, 2009;Karpiñska-Ko³aczek et al, 2010). All these ob ser va tions in dicate that the cli mate dur ing de po si tion of the stud ied de pos its was tem per ate (dis tinctly cooler than dur ing the Mio cene, but still warmer than the pres ent-day cli mate of Po land).…”
