Palynomorphs

Palynomorphs are tiny biological particles such as pollen grains, spores, and microscopic plant structures that can be preserved in sediments or rocks over time. These microscopic remains provide valuable clues about past environments, climate changes, and the Earth's history. By studying palynomorphs, scientists can reconstruct ancient ecosystems, track vegetation changes through geological periods, and understand how different species responded to environmental shifts. They are essential tools in palynology, the study of these particles, offering insights into both past biological diversity and environmental conditions billions of years ago.
