Abstract

Miospore assemblages are, for the first time, recorded from the Talchir Boulder Bed and overlying Needle Shales in the South Rewa Basin: The Boulder Bed assemblage contains 13 genera and 20 species, while the Needle shales have 17 genera and 24 species. Both assemblages, having several common taxa, are predominated by monosaccate pollen as is generally characteristic of other known Talchir miofloras. In the details of composition, however, the Boulder Bed assemblage of South Rewa appears to be distinct from that recorded from similar sediments of the Jayanti Coalfield. The present findings lend further support to the existence of the Glossopteris Flora during course of the Gondwana glaciation.
