Abstract
The history of palaeobotanical research on Kreuzau is outlined. The se dimentary succession is interpreted and the age of the site discussed. Based on a compilation of the different plant parts, the florisitic c omposition of the assemblage is analysed. Some new and interesting dis coveries are described and inferences made with regard to the habitats of these and other elements. Different techniques are used in an eval uation of the palaeoclimate and signs of faunal interaction mentioned. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
