Abstract
The use of modern pollen spectra for comparative interpretation of fossil pollen sequence requires the ability to distinguish different vegetation types by their pollen spectra, which may show similarities to fossil assemblages. Tertiary marine and non-marine sediments, the Yeonil Group, of the Yeonil area, Korea, was found thirty-two palynomorphic genera. One of the characteristic features of Yeonil geo-flora is predominance of coniferous trees over shrubs, herbs, and ferns. Miocene deposits of Yeonl area, Korea, ae differentiated with five zones. According to the pollen diagram it can be inferred the climate of the Tertiary Miocene of the Yeonil area, Korea.
