Abstract

Paleocene strata of the Scollard and Paskapoo formations in the central and south-central Alberta Plains can be subdivided into five formal biostratigraphic zones, based in part on a Momipites-Caryapollenites palynofloral lineage. A similar zonation previously identified from strata of the Wind River basin in Wyoming displays similar palynomorph occurrences. However, differences that are present are likely a result of latitudinal climatic zonation between Alberta and Wyoming during Paleocene time. -from Author
