摘要：

An exposure near Ein Qinya (E. 29375/N. 21940), Mount Hermon yielded numerous miospores most probably of Berriasian age, which are possibly the oldest Cretaceous fossils above the Jurassic Cretacous plane of unconformity in this area. These miospores are shown to be useful for correlation of assemblages from the Purbeckian facies of western Europe and other Neocomian assemblages in the Middle East, also for palaeoenvironmental interpretation. Filicalean spores are the most diverse and numerically important elements, followed by coniferalean pollen. Bisaccate and ginkgoalean pollen are rare components, whilst ephedroid and angiosperm pollen are unrepresented.
