Miospore assemblages and acritarchs are for the first time recorded from the matrix of two intercalated Talchir Boulder Beds in the Jayanti Coalfield. Virkkipollenites, Plicatipolleuites, Parasaccites, Caheniasaccites, Vestigisporites, Potonieisporites and Limitisporites are predominant. The distribution pattern of the miospores in the two boulder beds is studied and comparisons are made with known equivalent assemblages. The bio-stratigraphical and palaeobotanical significance of the present findings is briefly discussed.
