Abstract

The present paper is a part of the paleopalynological investigation of coal bearing beds of the Lower Gondwana age occurring in the north-eastern region of Maharashtra State. The paper deals with the sporological analysis of two bore-core carbonaceous shale samples geologically belonging to the Barakar Series of the Damuda System of the Lower Gondwana group, collected from Dahegaon camp area in Kamptee Coalfield in Nagpur District. Both core samples have predominance of trilete spore genera such as Brevitriletes Bharadwaj & Srivastava and Lophotriletes (Naum.) Pot. & Kr. Next in abundance are the bisaccate grains such as Striatites (Pant) Bharadwaj and Sulcatisporites Bharadwaj.
