The story of evolution is not complete without palaeobiology, which has an important role in natural sciences. With the application of palaeopalynology in oil and gas studies, palaeobiology also has economic and applied aspects. Its application in deducing palaeoclimate and therefore, role in predicting the future climate, has great societal significance. With the emerging hints at ancient life on Mars and evidence of life in extreme conditions, the subject has been getting into lime light.

Paleosols are ancient soils that have been incorporated into the geological record. Soils form in response to interactions among the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere, so paleosols potentially record physical, biological, and chemical information about past conditions near Earth’s surface. As a result, paleosols are an important resource for terrestrial environmental and climatic reconstructions. Long-standing paleosol research topics include morphology, classification, and clay mineralogy, all of which provide information about pedogenic processes and local paleoenvironments. Paleosols are also used to infer processes involved in the development of stratigraphic architecture and basin evolution. Recent paleosol research has introduced semiquantitative and quantitative measures for environmental and chronometric reconstructions that provide insight intomajor regional to global changes in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric pCO2. These new proxies focus on morphological and chemical transfer functions and stable isotope geochemistry to provide estimates of precipitation, temperature, pCO2, and productivity, as well as chronometric estimates of mineral crystallization in deep-time pedogenic systems. Looking forward, consensus must be reached on terminology that most effectively communicates paleosol characteristics and implies important processes. Proxy development will continue to improve as data sets become available across greater ranges of environments and timescales.
Palynological data was used through the integration of palynomorph abundance and diversity with miospores derived from land, associated with data-set of paleoenvironment, considering in particular the gonyaulacacean and peridinoids, their G/P ratio and the presence of non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) as a new technique geared towards interpreting the relative position of sea levels, the associated climatic condition and various paleoenvironments of deposition of the sediments. Definite trend in palynomorph abundance and diversity values were used to interpret analyzed stratigraphic section. High values of the abundance and diversity indicate trangressive/ highstand systems tracts (TST/HST) representing rising to high sea water level. This situation is interpreted to represent wet climate. In contrast low abundance and diversity values suggest LST characterized by low sea water level influenced by dry climatic condition. In all three major trangressive phases were recognized in the Asu River Group, Eze-Aku Group and Awgu Shale within the analyzed stratigraphic section of well –X in Anambra Basin, Nigeria. The periods are the Late Cenomanian in the Asu River Group; Late Turonian in the Eze Aku Group and Late Coniacian in the Awgu Shale section. The paleoenvironment of deposition interpretation, also an integrated approach and a hybrid technique of combined land derived forms, marine derived forms (dinocyst), G/P ratio and non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) show that the entire sequence analyzed was mainly deposited within the alternating marginal marine and open marine systems.
