Abstract

A few megaplant fossils, viz., Gopadia gen. nov., Chakrea gen. nov. and Conites sp., have been described here from the Triassic sediments of Nidhpur. All of them are carbonized and have revealed epidermal features. Amongst the two newly instituted genera, Gopadia is a leaf and Chakrea a wheelshaped plant organ which perhaps is a fruiting body. Besides these, one specimen has been described as Conites sp.
