description Present knowledge of Mesozoic plant microfossils, especially the sporomorphs, is limited and their study is still in its descriptive stage. Application of modern anatomical methods and comparison with living members in regard to characters displayed by the epidermis and cuticle have yielded phenomenal results necessitating reclassification of many sterile fronds or permitting refinement of existing classifications to receive new genera and higher categories based on these fossils. Examples are presented of the general usefulness of Mesozoic plant microfossils for stratigraphic work. The need for more intensive collecting and study of more microfossils is demonstrated.
