In this contribution, we report the palynology, organic petrography and carbon isotopes for the #16 Seam in the Lower Cretaceous Yimin Formation of the Hailar Basin, Inner Mongolia, China. Eighteen palynological samples were collected from the coal seam as well as from intraseam partings and the immediate roof. Microfloras comprise a diverse assemblage of ferns, conifers, horsetails, lycopsids, bryophytes, ginkgoes and cycads. Conifer pollen is common, especially representative of Pinaceae (Pinuspollenites) as well as Cheirolepidiaceae (Classopollis) and Araucariaceae (Araucariacites, Chasmatosporites); however, this material is interpreted as mostly derived from an upland source rather than from the mire-forming vegetation. An overrepresentation of conifer pollen may explain the relatively poor abundance and diversity of ginkgo and cycad pollen, compared to what is found in the macrofossil record. The palynological assemblage found in Seam #16 indicates a Barremian to Aptian age. Maceral composition, ash yields, and δ13Corg signature of the coal suggest peat accumulation was controlled by a rising water table from flooding of the mire, coupled with significant ground (peat) fires and/or surface wildfires. These conditions resulted in high levels of detrital mineral matter and charcoal input, the latter represented by inertodetrinite in the coals. The top of the coal seam is characterised by a higher ash yield, lower δ13Corg values and increased sphagnacean spores, which suggest the gradual drowning of the palaeomire. Although angiosperms were present in the Hailar Basin during the time that Seam #16 was accumulating, they are absent from the pollen found in this study. This may indicate that they were not yet adapted to the extreme conditions of the mire (e.g., acidity, anoxia), and unable to compete with the established mire vegetation. •Abundant fossil charcoal in the Seam #16 shows fire as an important part of palaeomire ecology.•Ash yields and δ13Corg values indicate that flooding terminated the palaeomire.•Some pollen was likely derived from upland conifer forests and transported into the mire.•The absence of angiosperms reflects the harsh, palaeomire conditions.
