通过光学、扫描电子和透射电子显微镜观察,对云南禄劝中泥盆世晚期角质残植煤层中的植物角质层进行再研究。禄劝的植物角质层定为Orestoviacf.devonica Ergolskaya,1936,具有两种类型:类型Ⅰ,角质层具有规则分布的孔状结构,分布密度为40—45个/mm2,表皮细胞呈不规则多边形或长条形;类型Ⅱ,角质层规则分布似气孔结构,分布密度为50—60个/mm2,表皮细胞呈长方形。根据大植物化石研究,结合生物地层资料,云南禄劝的植物角质残植煤层的成煤时代为中泥盆世晚期(late Givetian)。基于对当时古地理和古气候分析,云南禄劝角质残植煤层的形成主要受控于当时区域古地理环境及其局部古气候条件。

Coal is often considered as one of the important indicators in studying palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology.Late Middle Devonian coals have been reported from South China.Sheng et al.(1992) thought that the precursors of Luquan coals were derived from pteridophyte plants,or bacteria/algae.After studying the cutinites,Quan and Han(1997) thought that Taeniocrada decheniana and primitive lycopsids(such as Drepanophycus sp.) were the principal coal-forming plants.However,there are some ways about the Luquan coals on the geological age and prescursors,it is necessary for us to restudy coals,its geological age and its forming plants.
