Abstract

The dispersed spore and pollen grains are preserved in Mand-Raigarh Coalfield, Madhya Pradesh. In the present investigation studied the bore-hole RGP-7. This bore-hole runs through Raniganj-Barren Measures Formations as well as lithologically, while the palynofloral composition shows the Raniganj period (Late Permian flora). The dominance of Striatopodocarpites and Faunipollenites alongwith Alisporites. Crescentipollenites, Densipollenites, Rhizomaspora, Verticipollenites, Lunatisporites etc. This palynoassemblage is similarly found in Raniganj as well as Barren Measure sediments, hence, whole strata were deposited in Late Permian time (Raniganj Formation).
