Abstract

The paper describes some fragmentary plant remains from three different localities in the Ramkola-Tatapani Coalfield region. Out of these, viz., Ledho Nala near Karamdiha Village (Tatapani), Narola Village (Ramkola region) and Ledho Nala 2 miles north-west of Karamdiha Village (Tatapani), only the last locality has yielded Lepidopteris sp. The rest of the localities are characterized by the dominance of Glossopteris. Because of the presence of Lepidopteris in the Ledho Nala 2 miles north-west of Karamdiha the beds there have been assigned a Lower Triassic age. The other two localities are of doubtful age. They may be either of Uppermost Permian or Early Triassic age.
