Retispora lepidophyta is a spore type and an important biostratigraphic marker of the latest Devonian period. [3] [4] [5] The last appearance of Retispora lepidophyta defines the Devonian- Mississippian boundary in Belgium and other places.
Retispora is trilete, reticulate, and has a distinctly "fried egg" appearance, as the spore is zonate, and the inner area is much darker than the outer area. [2]
