Abstract

Palynological fossils from Chawad river area, Kutch, are listed. The sediments are assigned an Upper Jurassic- Lower Cretaceous (Portlandian-Neocomian) age.

Asterisporites gen. novo is proposed to accommodate trilete spore with an interradial ornamentation consisting of radiating sculpture around a circular depression. A. stellatus is designated as the type species.
