Occurrence of the genus Aquilapollenites in the Upper Cretaceous Kallamedu Formation of Vriddhachalam area, Cauvery Basin, Southern India

Abstract: The presence of triprojectate pollen in the Upper Cretaceous of the Cauvery Basin is confirmed. The pollen belongs to the species Aquilapollenites bengalensis Baksi & Deb. From comparative palynology, it is deduced that Aquilapollenites yielding bed in Baksi's Bengal Palynological Zone I, i.e. Biswas’ Chara- Ostracod Facies Zone, could not be older than Maestrichtian in age.

“…Two palynozones were recognized from the Upper Cretaceous in the Bengal Basin (Baksi & Deb, 1980). The lower one is Aquilapollenites indicus zone representing upper part ofthe Bolpur Formation and the Ghatal Formation, while the upper one, Mulleripollis bolpurensis zone represents the Jalangi Formation, Maheshwari and Jain (1982) stated that Bengal palynological zone 1 containing Aquilapollellites species could not be older than the Maastrichtian.…”
