It also provided a paleoenvironmental interpretation based on palynological and lithological data. Samples were carefully collected and processed using standard palynological techniques involving hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hydrofluoric acid (HF), followed by sorting and mounting on microscope slides for detailed microscopic examination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The seminar contributed to enriching scientific discussion and fostering the exchange of academic knowledge and expertise, thereby supporting the development of research skills and enhancing the academic performance of postgraduate students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We wish our dear students continued success and
