Carbonaceous clays of Nimar Formation, exposed near Umrali village in Jhabua District, Madhya Pradesh have been palynologically analysed. The palynoflora dominated by the pollen of conifers compares favourably with Jabalpur, Rajmahal, Vemavaram/Raghavapuram and Bhuj palynoassemblages. Due to nonavailability of Early Cretaceous palynofossils, the assemblage is dated as Late Jurassic.

The palynoflora points towards prevalence of fresh water, warm humid, swampy conditions during the deposition of the Carbonaceous clays of Nimar Formation.

Abstract


Carbonaceous clays of Nimar Formation, exposed near Umrali village in Jhabua District, Madhya Pradesh have been palynologically analysed. The palynoflora dominated by the pollen of conifers compares favourably with Jabalpur, Rajmahal, Vemavaram/Raghavapuram and Bhuj palynoassemblages. Due to nonavailability of Early Cretaceous palynofossils, the assemblage is dated as Late Jurassic.

The palynoflora points towards prevalence of fresh water, warm humid, swampy conditions during the deposition of the Carbonaceous clays of Nimar Formation.
