At first by palynologic data in the Baremian–Cenomanian deposits of Precarpathians (Stavchany and Nezvisko suites) the pollen angiosperms plants have been determined. It is the significant findings of precursor new flora in history of the vegetable kingdom of Earth. The review of first appearance of old angiosperms plants, settle plants, paleofloric and paleoclimatic change of Cretaceous period. These data are said about necessity of revise of boundary Jurassic–Cretaceous deposits of Precarpathians of the expense of global paleoclimatic change.
