Abstract

Sporological analysis of some coals from Nandira and South Belanda Mines of Talcher Coalfield, Orissa, India, has been done and miospores have been assigned to 33 genera. A generic quantitative analysis has revealed that Parasaccites, is a dominant genus while Faunipollenites, Punctatisporites, Striatopodocarpites, Sulcatisporites and Apiculatisporis are fairly well represented genera. This assemblage has been compared with those from some of the other beds of Lower Gondwana of India.
