“…Botryococcus colonies of the planktonic green algal genus are well-known as fossils, extending back to the Precambrian (Batten & Grenfell 1996). Botryococcus is most often found in freshwater bogs, temporary ponds, pools, and lakes, however, considerable abundances are known to occur in variable saline/brackish water supporting its cosmopolitan habitat (Batten & Grenfell 1996; Senousy et al 2004; Kumar et al 2017 and references therein).…”

“…The fossilized alga colonies appear irregularly spherical to oval in shape, which are 3-8 μm in diameter and are open with wavy outer edges. The colony-free and chemically resistant cell walls form a pore-like structure resulting in high specific surface [13].…”

“…(Pteridaceae), grow widely along the habitats situated near deltaic coasts (Tryon & Tryon, 1982;Medina et al, 1990;Garcia Massini et al, 2006). Representation of colonial alga Botryococcus braunii in the palynoassemblage is very significant for proving the existence of fresh or brackish water habitats as the alga flourishes well in freshwater or low saline estuarine lakes (Guy-Ohlson, 1992;Kumar et al, 2017). Occurrence of dinoflagellate cysts, viz.…”

“…Occurrence of such fresh water inhabiting ferns may also suggest transportation of detritus through fluvial sources towards the pro-deltaic inner shelf zone of the shallow marine coast. Representation of the colonial alga Botryococcus braunii in the assemblage of both palynozones indicates prevalence of well-oxygenated estuarine lakes near the inner shelf coastal zone where input of the fluvial water was high, but transportation of sediments was very low (Guy-Ohlson, 1992;Lindström & Erlström, 2011;Kumar et al, 2017). The alga mostly occurs in freshwater lacustrine, fluvial, lagoonal and deltaic in a wide range of temperatures and habitats (Traverse, 1955;Batten & Grenfell, 1996;Clausing, 1999).…”
