Summary:This text about non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) covers gaps in our knowledge of these abundant but understudied palynological remains. NPPs, such as fungal spores, testate amoebae, dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs & animal remains, are routinely recovered from palynological preparations of marine or terrestrial material, from Proterozoic to recent geological times. This book gives the reader a comprehensive overview of the different types of NPPs, with examples from diverse time periods & environments. It provides guidance on sample preparation to maximize the recovery of these NPPs, detailed information on their diversity & ecological affinity, clarification on the nomenclature & shows their value as environmental indicators. This volume will become the reference guide for any student, academic or practitioner interested in everything else in their palynological preparations.
