Abstract

Sporological analysis of some coal and carbonaceous shales from Sibbabudih and Katri nalas in Jharia Coalfield has been done and the Sporae dispersae have been referred to 32 genera. A generic quantitative analysis has shown that the genus Striatopodocarpites is dominating while Lophotriletes, Densipollenites, Striatites, Faunipollenites and Sulcatisporites are fairly well represented. This miospore assemblage has been compared with those from the younger and the older beds in Damuda Series of Lower Gondwana of India.
