Abstract

Palynomorph assemblages recovered from the Tertiary rocks of the Himalayas have been reviewed. Most of the Tertiary palynological information available till today has been developed from the western Himalayas. A beginning seems to have been made in regard to the development of the Tertiary palynology of the eastern Himalayas, particularly from Arunachal Pradesh. On the basis of palynomorph assemblages, some workers have attempted to establish palynological succession both in the Lower and Upper Tertiary rocks of western Himalayas. Palynological evidence have also been used in the interpretation of the environment of deposition, dating, and correlation of strata and palaeoclimates. The present paper reviews the status of the Tertiary palynology of the Himalayas and evaluates some of the assemblages in regard to their applied aspects.
