The palynoflora recovered from the Jaintia Group (Palaeocene-Eocene) exposed along the road between Jowai and Sonapur, Jaintia Hills have been dated and compared with various Lower Tertiary palynological assemblages. The present studies support tropical to subtropical vegetation during the Palaeocene-Eocene times. It has also been inferred that the Jaintia Group sediments were deposited under shallow marine conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
