Re : Fossil spores of ascomycetes
Have you consulted Jansonius and Elsik?

Re : Fossil spores of ascomycetes
No defenitive answer, only some ideas:
1st spore: remind me that of Sphinctrina, not S. turbinata that I'm used to observe, but I think ti be similar to that of S. leucopoda, images of which you can see here at AscoFrance;
2nd spore: seems similar to that of Calicium or Cyphelium spp.
Hope this helps,

Re : Fossil spores of ascomycetes
Thank you. Do you know if these lichen ascomycetes indicate special conditions, like for instance dung, litter, cereals?
