Description: A palynological and sedimentological study of an outcrop succession adjacent to the village of Kamyanka within the Kharkiv region of northeast Ukraine was carried out. The successions occur within the Dnieper–Donets Basin, which hosts vast successions (〉 20 km) of post mid-Devonian strata and is one of the main hydrocarbon-producing basins in Europe. Middle Jurassic sandstones, siltstones and claystones represent the sedimentary successions at the Kamyanska locality. Few palynological studies have been performed on the Jurassic of Ukraine and even fewer presented in the international literature. Thirty spore taxa and 21 pollen taxa were identified, together with taxa kept in open nomenclature (e.g. bisaccate pollen). Two palynological assemblages were identified within the Kamyanska succession (assemblages A and B) dated as Bathonian. Assemblage A is dominated by the fern spores ( Cyathidites and Osmundacidites ) and gymnosperm pollen produced by Cupressaceae ( Perinopollenites elatoides ), ginkgophytes/Cycadales/Bennettitales (monosulcates) and Cheirolepidiaceae ( Classopollis ). Assemblage B differs in also comprising high abundances of Gleicheniidites  and higher percentages of Pinuspollenites and Araucariacites  compared to assemblage A. Another difference between the two units is the high relative abundance of seed fern pollen ( Alisporites ) in the upper part of assemblage B. The thermal alteration index (TAI) of the palynomorphs is estimated to range from 3 to 3.5, indicating a burial depth corresponding to the mature main phase of liquid petroleum and, to some extent, gas generation. Comparisons between the miospore and macrofloral assemblages show that the palynoflora and macroflora are strongly similar at broad taxonomic levels. Importantly, the miospore assemblages described here compare well with European Middle Jurassic assemblages indicating limited provincialism, with similar vegetation extending from eastern Ukraine and across most of Western Europe.
