Spore Fossilization

Spore Fossilization is a paleontological preservation process in which fossil spores are formed through the mineralization, compression, or carbonization of resistant organic-walled spores, distinguishing it from other fossilization modes by its specificity to reproductive microstructures of early land plants and cryptogams.
