Abstract

The palynological study of bore-cores GSS-1, GS-1, 2, 3 and 4 from Sattupalli area, Chintalpudi sub-basin, reveals the presence of Talchir, Barakar and Raniganj palynoassemblages. The coal seams and associated sediments present between 74.40 to 152.70 m in bore-core GSS-1, at 99.50 m in GS-1, at 371 m in bore-core GS-2, at 46-74 m in GS-3 and 181-230 m in bore-core GS-4 contain Raniganj palynofloral alongwith early appearance of Early Triassic taxa, viz., Lunatisporites, Klausipollenites, Lundbladispora, Densoisporites, Vitreisporites and Chordasporites. Talchir and Barakar palynofloras have been marked at 402 and 356.51 m in bore-core GSS-1 respectively.
