Abstract

In this paper are described some fossil fungal spores found through lower and middle
Miocene sediments of North of Chiapas (México). Some fossil fungal spores were identified
by Dr. Gastón Guzmán, who correlated them with the modern fungal spores belonging
to Dothiorella, Heliascus, Melanospora, Pleospora, Alternaría, Tonda, Tricltacladium,
Diporicellaesporítes, Corynespora, Monodictys and Pericania.
Other fossil fungal spores were identified employing the nomenclature for tertiaries
fungal spores, such as; Dyadosporites, Exesporites, Fusiformisporites, Hypoxylonites,
Lacrimasporonites, Mediaverruspororates, MulticeUaesporites, Stnasporonites, Diporísporites and
Verrusporonites. A paleoenvironment is difficult to determine with the presence of this
fossil fungal spores because most of them belong to genera with a wide georgraphical
área, except Fusiformisporites, whose spores are related with the modern tropical mushroom
of genus Cookeina.
