The record of Cretaceous palaeo-wildfires is rather scarce for peninsular India. We aim to report a detailed macro-charcoal analysis as evidence for palaeo wildfires of Early Cretaceous deposits from India. The macro-charcoal was studied using SEM and classified into three morphotypes based on anatomical characte­ristics. All morphotypes are probably associated with gymnosperms. These findings constitute a record of macro-charcoal and consequently of palaeo-wildfires for the Lower Cretaceous strata of the Saurashtra Basin, Northwest India
