Core samples of Borehole MBG-23 of Gokul Block, Bandar Coalfield have been analyzed palynologically. Samples Shaly coal and shale occurring between the depth 52.3 m-43 m have been found to be rich in miospores and a statistical analysis of these samples have revealed the abundance of non-striate disaccate genera based on which Scheuringipollenires assemblage zone has been recognised which suggests Lower Barakar affinity(Ear1y Permian). This assemblage zone shows broad similarities with the Lower Barakar mioflora of other Lower Gondwana basins of India.

Abstract


Core samples of Borehole MBG-23 of Gokul Block, Bandar Coalfield have been analyzed palynologically. Samples Shaly coal and shale occurring between the depth 52.3 m-43 m have been found to be rich in miospores and a statistical analysis of these samples have revealed the abundance of non-striate disaccate genera based on which Scheuringipollenires assemblage zone has been recognised which suggests Lower Barakar affinity(Ear1y Permian). This assemblage zone shows broad similarities with the Lower Barakar mioflora of other Lower Gondwana basins of India.
