Abstract

The data presented in this article are related to the research article "Palynology and weathering proxies reveal climatic fluctuations during the Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE) (Late Triassic) from marine successions in the Transdanubian Range (western Hungary)" (Baranyi et al., 2019). Palynological and palynofacies counts and mineralogical data are presented that build the core for the palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic interpretation discussed in the original research article. Other component of this data article is the description of the applied laboratory and analytical techniques. We also supply microscopic images of the identified pollen and spores and a list of all identified palynomorphs.
