Abstract: The identified palynomorph assemblage from a rock sequence exposed at Bandar Tenggara, Johor is interpreted to be Tertiary in age. It resembles the Verrucatosporites usmensis zone which is characterised by the presence of Verrucatosporites usmensis, Spinizonocolpites baculatus, Alnipollenites and Psilatricolporites operculatus of Late Eocene age. By the presence of fresh water algae Pediastrum sp., together with Striatricolpites catatumbus, Stenochlaena sp., Laevigatosporites sp. and Deltoidosporas sp. which were derived from freshwater swamp plant community, it shows that, the sediments were deposited in a freshwater swamp environment.

Himpunan ini mempunyai persamaan dengan zon Verrucatosporites usmensis yang dicirikan dengan kehadiran Verrucatosporites usmensis, Spinizonocolpites baculatus, Alnipollenites dan Psilatricolporites operculatus berusia Eosen Akhir. Kehadiran alga air tawar Pediastrum sp. bersama-sama dengan Striatricolpites catatumbus, Stenochlaena sp., Laevigatosporites sp. dan Deltoidospora sp. yang dihasilkan oleh tumbuhan di kawasan paya air tawar menunjukkan sedimen telah diendapkan di sekitaran paya air tawar.
