释义

Definition of palynology in English:

palynology

noun ˌpalɪˈnɒlədʒiˌpaləˈnäləjē
mass noun
  • The study of pollen grains and other spores, especially as found in archaeological or geological deposits. Pollen extracted from such deposits may be used for radiocarbon dating and for studying past climates and environments by identifying plants then growing.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Description and systematic treatment of the ammonites was done by Hall; the material was collected by MacRae and Hills, who studied the palynology.
    • They can join or even organize teams of researchers including specialists in, say, geoarcheology, palynology, and dendrochronology.
    • Metagentiana was separated from Gentiana on the basis of observations related to its gross morphology, floral anatomy, chromosomes, palynology, embryology and molecular data.
    • But if, say, the chapter on palynology doesn't quite equip historians to go out and study fossil pollen themselves, it will at least enable them to talk intelligently with specialists who can.
    • However palynology and vertebrate fossils have yielded reliable ages for a few basins.
    • Hultberg, using the thinner Højerup succession, has described the palynology of the Fish Clay.
    • Palaeobotany includes not only macrofossil plants but also microscopic plant material that may be included in palynology, the study of fossil spores and pollen and other organic-walled microfossils.
    • We interpret these results in light of Gnetalean palynology and the geological record of western Namibia.
    • Barron and Elorza studied the palynology of the amber deposits and proposed a Middle Aptian-Upper Albian age for the amber.
    • The integration of palynology with stratigraphical analysis represents a significant advance, by facilitating a detailed chronostratigraphic chart of the Iberian Pyrite Belt.

      Example sentencesExamples
      • Above this level, palynological assemblages are dominated by circumpolles pollen of the taxon Classopollis.

      Example sentencesExamples

      • A further complication has been the studies by palynologists, scientists who study spores and pollen, who use yet another system for naming the fossil species.
      • Identification was assisted by the independent assessments of a professional palynologist (someone who studies pollen) who did not know that the specimens came from ‘Precambrian’ rock.

Origin
