| Summary: | The correlations are based on comparing the stratigraphic ranges of spore species and genera with significant changes in the relative abundance of taxa in coal beds in the Carboniferous equatorial belt. Because spores and pollen are dispersed far and fast by wind and water, they provide more synchronous and precise correlations than do fossils that are restricted to specific facies. A contribution to the understanding of the transgression- regression stratigraphic sequences in the Carboniferous. Includes a wall-sized chart folded into a back pocket.
