The present paper deals with the dispersed spores-pollen recovered from Vemavaram shale (Jurassic) in the east coast Gondwanas, Andhra Pradesh, India. The palynological assemblage comprises 21 genera and 43 species, out of which two genera, viz. Ramanujamiaspora and Singhiapollis are new. The assemblage is dominated by gymnospermous pollen grains mosUy represented by Callialasporites, Sillghiapollis, Podocarpidites, Laricoidites and Araucariacites. The trilete spores are not common and mostly represented by Cyathidites and Ramanujamiaspora. The monolde and monocolpate pollen grains are rare. The trisaccate pollen grains are also meagrely represented by Podosporites. Operculate pollen grains are also rare and represented by Classopollis and Granuloperculatipollis. The present palynological assemblage has also been compared with the other known Jurassic assemblages of India. Palynological evidence indicates an Upper Jurassic age for the Vemavaram shales.
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.
