Abstract

The paper describes for the first time the Karharbari miospore assemblage from the Auranga Coalfield. The mioflora (19 genera and 39 species) is characterized by the dominance of trilete taxa Callumispora and Brevitriletes together with monosaccates, Parasaccites, Caheniasaccites and Virkkipollenites. Other quantitatively significant genera are Faunipollenites, Psilalacinites, Microbaculispora, Kibambaites, Verrucosisporites and Latosporites.
