Abstract

The present paper deals with the Palynology of the Barakar sediments exposed near the village of Badam, in Hazaribagh District of Bihar, India. The spores and pollen recovered have been referred to 42 spore genera and 60 species. Three Palynological zones have been marked on the abundance of striate bisaccate pollen and trilete spores.
