Abstract

Development of dinoflagellate cyst studies in India and Brazil is directly related with the exploration of hydrocarbons. During the last 3 decades these studies have intensified in various petroliferous basins of the two countries. These have proved to be of immense value in high impact palynological studies as applied in geological modelling for exploration. Stratigraphic ranges of significant dinoflagellate taxa from the two countries have been analysed in global context and presented through 6 Range Tables. This is the first step to build comparative database of these fossils from India and Brazil for obtaining a better understanding of their distribution and application in petroleum industry.
