Abstract

Palynological investigations carried out on bore-hole BRJ-003 Barjora of Bankura District in West Bengal, India shows that the assemblage is rich in disaccate pollen grains with predominance of Scheuringipollenites, Straitopodocarpites, Striatopicetes, Lahirites along with a few trilete-tetrahedral spores and monosulcates. The general characteristics of the assemblage indicate Barakar palynoflora.
