Microbiota from Vindhyan Supergroup of the Karauli-Sapotra region of North-Eastern Rajasthan, India

Abstract

Microbiota comprising algae, acritarcha and a few taxa of unassignable affinities from the Semri, Rewa and Bhander groups of Vindhyan Supergroup in Karauli-Sapotra area is recorded. The assemblage comprises eleven genera of algae and four genera of acritarcha. Of these, two genera, viz., Saccifera and Vindhyacapsiopsis are new. The microbiota assemblage shows a gradual increase in morphological complexity from older to younger horizons, though the number of forms is scanty.
