Abstract

Microfossils are described from an oil shale of the Saline series, collected by the late Professor B. Sahni from the Fatehpur Maira Gorge. The plant-remains include pollen grains of a definitely angiospermous character, which are reported for the first time from this formation. The microfossils support the theory of a Tertiary age for the Saline series.
