ABSTRACT
Fructifications of epiphyllous fungi were encountered during palynological investigation of the
Lower Oligocene shallow-marine deposits of the Krabbedalen Formation at the Savoia Halvø, Kap Brewster, central
East Greenland. Six fossil taxa from the family Microthyriaceae (Phragmothyrites kangukensis Kalgutkar,
Phragmothyrites sp., Plochmopeltinites sp., Trichothyrites cf. ostiolatus (Cookson) Kalgutkar & Jansonius, Trichothyrites
sp. 1, and Trichothyrites sp. 2) and one incertae sedis fungal remain are reported. Fungal remains
from the Krabbedalen Formation represent the youngest, Oligocene occurrence of the epiphyllous fungi in the
Palaeogene of the Arctic. The presence of epiphyllous, microthyriaceous fungi in low quantities and in low taxonomical
diversity points to a humid and not necessarily warm climate, which is corroborated by data obtained
from the analysis of microscopic plant remains.
