Dinoflagellate cysts from`'Non-Marine' sediments of Jabalpur Group at Morghat, Madhya Pradesh

Abstract

The Jabalpur Group sediments are so far believed to be of non-marine origin. These sediments have yielded a rich flora comprising both mega- and microfossils. Recently, while working out the palynostratigraphy of the group, some dinoflagellate cysts were found in one of the samples from Morghat, Hoshangabad District, Madhya Pradesh. The dinoflagellate cysts are referable to three genera, viz., Kalyptea, Sentusidinium, and Canningia. One species, i.e. Kalyptea indica, is new.
