Abstract

The stratigraphical bearing of the various types of megafossils of the Karharbari, Barakar and Raniganj measures of the Lower Gondwana succession of Auranga Coalfield has been dealt in detail and the comparisons have also been made with the well-known floras of equivalent horizons of India.
