Palynological studies of Merlabach coals from Veine 6 stage 686 have been made along with petrographic structure. The detailed qualitative and quantitative studies of microspore and petrographic components of coals indicate three main zones of microlithotypes and microspore assemblages. Even minor zones are indicated in the main zones. Recognition of these zones suggest sequential coalification of the heterogeneous coal seam. Also the study has shown a distinct relationship between some microspores and petrographic components.
