The paper deals with some Lower Triassic megafossils collected from two different exposures in Auranga valley, District Palamau. The fossils were obtained mainly near Deobar Village. From here Trizygia speciosa, Schizoneura gondwanensis, Glossopteris angustifolia, G. communis, G. indica, Vertebraria indica, ?Noeggerathiopsis sp., Dicroidium sp. and some other fragmentary plants have been reported. In addition, a few detached ?pinnules with cuticle like that of Lepidopteris have been described from Sukri River rear Tubed.
