Abstract

The present paper records for the first time the bryozoan fragments from 4 m core of the Godhra Formation (early Miocene) and from 4m core and 5 m core of the Chhasra Formation (early middle Miocene) of the Kachchh Offshore Basin, Western India. The Godhra Formation has presence of three bryozoans, viz., ?Crassimarginatella sp., Thalamoporella sp. and Vincularia sp. while the Chhasra Formation has presence of four bryozoans, namely, ?Margaretta sp., Steginoporella sp., ?Thalamoporella sp. and Vincularia sp.
