Abstract
ABSTRACT. The occurrence of selected miospores and a few macroplants used for the biostratigraphy of the Westphalian C and D, is commented in the context of the lithostratigraphy of the Campine Basin (Belgium). Their morphology and stratigraphic significance are compared with their occurrence in other European and North American basins. The controversial discontinuity in the transitional Westphalian C-D strata of the Campine Basin is not confirmed.
