New angiosperm pollen from subsurface Early Palaeogene sediments of Barmer District, Rajasthan, India

Abstract

Two new monosulcate pollen genera, viz., Kapurdipollenites and Retiverrumonosulcites are identified from the subsurface Paleogene sediments near Kapurdi and Jalipa, Barmer District, Rajasthan. Kapurdipollenites is a zonisulcate pollen having verrucate, baculate or gemmate exine. Retiverrumonosulcites is monosulcate with verrucate or clavate exine. These pollens show affinity with those found in some members of Arecaceae.
