absolute pollen frequency (APF) The expression of
pollen data from sediments in terms of the absolute numbers (for each species, genus, or family) per unit volume of sediment and, where deposition rates are known, per unit time. In certain circumstances this approach gives clearer information than does the traditional expression as

THE PROBLEMATIC AQUATIC PALYNOMORPH GENUS COBRICOSPHAERIDIUM HARLAND AND SARJEANT, 1970 EMEND., WITH NEW RECORDS FROM THE HOLOCENE OF ARGENTINA
Journal of Paleontology
; ABSTRACT-The aquatic palynomorph genus Cobricosphaeridium Harland and Sarjeant, 1970 was described from Holocene deposits of Australia. Restudy of the type material shows that these palynomorphs may represent the eggs of crustaceans, and that earlier attributions to the division Dinoflagellata are
