I describe dispersed miospore assemblages recovered from 35 drill-core samples from Höllviken 2, Norrevång 1, and Svedala 1 wells, all in SW Scania, Sweden. Over eighty taxa of pollen and spores, ranging from the Aalenian to the Cenomanian were identified. Four pollen/spore zones have been defined on the basis of key taxa and on the variation in the frequency of miospore groups. The palynofacies analysis indicates that a continental depositional environment prevailed during the Aalenian in Scania. A stratigraphic hiatus existed from the Aalenian then on until the Valanginian, when the depositional environment subsequently became marine. The marine conditions continued until the Cenomanian. A gradual increase in marine palynomorphs is found in the Cenomanian succession, indicating a transgression. On the basis of the palynoflora it is suggested that the vegetation consisted of cycads, conifers, pteridophytes and a very limited number of angiosperms.

W pracy opisano rozproszone zespoły miospor pochodzące z 35 próbek rdzeni wiertniczych z otworów Höllviken 2, Norrevång 1 i Svedala 1, położonych w południowo-zachodniej Skanii, w Szwecji. Oznaczono ponad osiemdziesiąt taksonów pyłku i zarodników, wieku od aalenu po cenoman. Wyznaczono cztery poziomy pyłkowo-zarodnikowe na podstawie taksonów przewodnich i zmian częstości występowania poszczególnych grup miospor. Analiza palinofacjalna wskazuje, że w aalenie przeważało w Skanii kontynentalne środowisko sedymentacyjne. Luka stratygraficzna trwała od aalenu do walanżynu, kiedy to zapanowal morski reżim sedymentacyjny, trwający aż do cenomanu. Stopniowy wzrost udziału form morskich w sukcesji cenomańskiej wskazuje na transgresję. Zbadana palinoflora wskazuje na to, że w kredzie przeważaly na badanym obszarze sagowce, szpilkowe, paprotniki i nieliczne okrytozalążkowe.
