The problems of intra- and inter-regional correlations have always been the most difficult in stratigraphic studies. Particular difficulties arise when comparing same-age subaerial continental sediments that are depleted in palaeontological remains. The spore-pollen analysis, which is a component of the palynological method, is most effective in stratigraphic dissection and correlation of subaerial sediments, since pollen and spores, with few exceptions, are almost the only paleontological remai
