Abstract:The study aims to establish the palynostratigraphy, tectonostratigraphy, and palaeoclimate of early Jurassic deltaic strata of the Datta Formation deposited on the northwestern margin of the Indian Plate, Eastern Tethys. Two palynomorph Oppel Biozones namely Quadraeculinaanellae formis-Chasmatosporites cf. elegans and Callialasporites turbatus were erected which suggest an Hettangian-Bajocian age for the Datta Formation. The palynofacies integrated with established lithofacies data indicate the dominance of de… Show more
