Jiang, Q., Mungai, M.W., Downie, c. and Neves, R., 1992; Late Jurassic dinoflagellate assemblages of the Mto Panga Quarry, Mombasa, Kenya. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology 74: 77-100 Abstract: A palynological investigation, based on 32 samples from an Upper Jurassic outcrop in the Mto Panga Quarry near Mombasa, Kenya, yielded well preserved palynomorphs, including over 70 species of dinoflagellates. Five new species are proposed: Carnarvonodinium granulatum Jiang sp. nov, Ellipsoidinium densireticulatum Jiang sp. nov, Indodinium? parvelatum Jiang sp. nov, Meiourogonyaulax mombasaensis Mungai sp. nov., and Peridictyicysta? bamburiensis Mungai sp. nov.. The investigation also revealed three distinct zones. These zones are described and shown to have features in common with Late Jurassic dinoflagellate zones of both Europe and Australia.
