These palynomorphs are considered reliable indicators of brackish and marine paleoenvironments, and they are a proxy for foraminiferal production when carbonate preservation is reduced (Mathison and Chmura, 1995). Presence or absence of microforaminiferal (abbrev. microforam) linings is an important criterion used in palynofacies models to distinguish the transition from coastal lakes across delta front, prodelta, and shelf sub-environments.enDanube deltamicroforaminiferal liningsArticle
