Palynomorphs obtained from a Panchet Group Exposure in the Sukri River, near Kaima, Auranga Coalfield, Bihar are assignable to 31 species and 22 genera. One genus and five species are newly instituted. On the whole the palynological assemblage is dominated by striate bisaccate pollen. Non-striate bisaccate pollen and the pteridophytic spores share nearly equal percentage. The assemblage is quite similar to the Lower Triassic palynological assemblage reported earlier from the Maitur Formation exposed in the Nonia Nala, near Asansol, West Bengal. The Panchet beds near Kaima are therefore believed to represent the Maitur Formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
