Abstract

Athgarh Sandstone is rich in plant megafossils, in which the pteridophytes and conifers are dominated followed by Bennettitales and Cycadophytes. The species described in this paper are: Ptilophyllum acutifolium, Ptilophyllum spp., Pterophyllum kingianum, Pterophyllum sp. cf. P. distans, Otozamites penna, Otozamites sp. cf. O. kachchhensis, Anomozamites fissus, Dictyozamites sp. and Taeniopteris spatulata. A comparison of this assemblage with similar other assemblages from the Lower Cretaceous of India has also been made.
