	Forensic Palynology: A New Way to Catch Crooks
		The term "forensic palynology" refers to the use of pollen and spore evidence in legal cases (Mildenhall, 1982).
		In its broader application, the field of forensic palynology also includes legal information derived from the analysis of a broad range of microscopic organisms--such as dinoflagellates, acritarchs, and chitinozoans--that can be found in both fresh and marine environments (Faegri et al., 1989).
		The full potential of forensic palynology remains untapped and ignored in most countries, except New Zealand, where forensic palynology is widely accepted and routinely used to gather evidence in civil and criminal cases.

	Palynology - a microscopic view into the past
		Palynology is the study of non-mineralized 'organic' microfossils such as pollens and spores.
		In palynology techniques the crushed rock is digested in concentrated hydrofluoric acid, perhaps with some use of concentrated nitric acid, to eliminate all of the mineral content of the sediment.
		Dr Batten, who was very experienced in palynology techniques, had offered very kindly to examine rock samples provided by the present writer, by preparing mounted slides of strews of the organic residues.

	PALYNOLOGY DEFINITIONS
		PALYNOLOGY: The branch of science concerned with the study of pollen, spores, and similar palynomorphs, living and fossil.
		ENVIRONMENTAL PALYNOLOGY: The use of palynomorphs, their identification, distribution, and abundance to determine past changes in the biota, climate, or surficial geology of an area.
		STRATIGRAPHIC PALYNOLOGY: The use of palynomorphs, their identification, distribution, and abundance to correlate among sedimentary sequences of any age, or to provide chronological control for these sedimentary sequences.

	Palynology - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Palynology is the science that studies contemporary and fossil palynomorphs, including pollen, spores, dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs, chitinozoans and scolecodonts, together with particulate organic matter (POM) and kerogen found in sedimentary rocks and sediments.
		Palynology is an interdisiplinary science, and is a branch of earth science (geology or geological science) and biological science (biology), particularly plant science (botany).
		Palynology can be used to reconstruct past vegetation (land plants) and marine and freshwater phytoplankton communities, and so infer past environmental (palaeoenvironmental) and palaeoclimatic conditions.

	Devonian Times - Red Hill Palynology
		Palynology is the study of the microscopic, decay-resistant — but non-mineral (i.e., composed of chitin and sporopollenin) — remains of animals, plants and fungi.
		Within paleontology, these remains (palynomorphs) are typically used for biostratigraphy (using fossil organisms to determine the relative age of geologic deposits), but they have sometimes proved useful in sedimentology, paleoecology and paleoclimatology.
		One problem with using palynology in paleoecological studies is the unresolved systematics of some taxa.

		Palynology is an interdisciplinary science and is a branch of earth science (geology or geological science) and biological science (biology), particularly plant science (botany).
		Stratigraphical palynology is a branch of micropalaeontology and paleobotany which studies fossil palynomorphs from the Precambrian to the Holocene.
		Archaeological Palynology examines human uses of plants in the past.
