Abstract

A new microfossil of paraphyses viz., Lithoparaphysis paproensis gen. et sp. nov. recovered from the Lalitpur Intertrappean bed (Palaeocene) is described here. This fossil species closely resembles the paraphyses of Acrostichum aureum Linn., a mangrove fern, and is found in association with the Palaeocene marker spore-pollen taxa.
