This paper deals with the systematic description of dinoflagellate cysts and fungal remains recovered from the Jowai-Sonapur Road Section (Palaeocene-Eocene)., Meghalaya. The dinoflagellate cysts are represented by 12 genera and 21 species. The fungal remains comprise fruiting bodies and spores assignable to 10 genera and 12 species.
