Abstract

The carbonised woods resembling modern woods of the genus Terminalia Linn. and Sonneratia Linn. belonging to family Combretaceae and Sonneratiaceae, respectively are described from the Rajpardi lignite mine situated in Bharuch District of South Gujarat. The fossils indicate the existence of tropical palaeoclimate and presence of the sea in the Vicinity of Rajpardi during Eocene. These form the first record of carbonised woods from Gujarat and from the Palaeogene sediments of India too.
