Abstract

A new palynomorph, Dangripites, has been recorded from the Tikak Parbat Formation (Oligocene) of Dangri Kumari Colliery in Dibrugarh District, Assam. This palynomorph is spherical 10 elliptical, inaperturate and ornamented with baculae, clavae, verrucae, gemmae and tubercles. A probable bryophytic affinity is suggested for this palynomorph.
