Permian Palynoflora from Lower Gondwana Sediments of Godavari Valley Coalfield, Andhra Pradesh, South India
Abstract
Palynological investigation of Lower Gondwana sediments of Goutham Khani Open Cast Mine (GKOCM) from Kothagudem sub basin of Godavari Valley Coalfield, Andhra Pradesh of Peninsular India have revealed two palynoassemblages are related to Early Permian (Barakar Formation). Palynoassemblage – A abundantly occurrence of Scheuringipollenites along with other common taxa like Parasaccites, Ibisporites, Primuspollenites, Sulcatisporites, Rhizomaspora, Densipollenites and Corisaccites and Palynoassemblage – B dominated by Scheuringipollenites along with sub dominance of Faunipollenites, Striatopodocarpites, Parasaccites, Striatites, Tiwariasporis, Rhizomaspora, Verticipollenites, Platysaccus, Primuspollenites, Lunatisporites, Latosporites, Ibisporites and Distriatites. The above demarcated palynoassemblages are applied to correlate with other horizons of Lower Gondwana deposits of India and also to fix the relative age for the sediments under investigation.
Key words? Permian Age, Lower Gondwana, Palynoassemblage, Godavari Valley Coalfield, Sothern India.
