“…The present study displays analogy with palynocombination recorded by Kalkar et al (2010) from Makardhokada area of Nagpur District which suggests the continuity of the almost similar vegetational pattern around Nagpur and Chandrapur district areas of Maharashtra, however, the absence of some important genera, viz. Densipollenites, Navalesporites, Lunatisporites and Striatites in the present assemblage marks the regional generic local variation and thus this assemblage is slightly older (basal part of Raniganj Formation) than that of the Makardhokada which equated with middle part of Raniganj Formation of Damodar Valley.…”

The present paper deals with the palynological investigation of the Lower Gondwana sequence intersected in Borehole No. WG–22, drilled near Sekapur Village, in Wardha District, Maharashtra. The study divulges the incidence in significant proportion and with consistency of striate bisaccate palynomorphs, viz. Striatopodocarpites and Faunipollenites and non–striate genus Scheuringipollenites. The associated genera recorded include, Weylandites, Tiwariasporis, Densipollenites, Verticipollenites and Klausipollenites, though with meagre distribution. This palynoassemblage has been dated as Late Permian and affiliate closely with the palynofloral assemblages known from the basal part Raniganj Formation of East and West Bokaro coalfields, Damodar Basin, Makardhokada area of Nagpur District and vast areas of Godavari Valley. The study indicates that almost similar vegetational pattern existed in the Nagpur, Wardha–Godavari and Damodar basins however, there existed regional variations in the generic composition of the vegetation in Satpura Basin as suggested by their palynofloral contents. The mega– and microfloral studies of the Wardha Basin with particular reference to Sekapur area suggests prevalence of warm and temperate climate in this region.

The sub–surface samples of bore core NP–75 drilled near Nand Village, a part of Nand–Besur Block of Bandar Coalfield, Wardha Basin, Maharashtra have yielded palynomorphs which include spores/pollen grains and megaspores. The pollen assemblage shows the dominance of the genus Scheuringipollenites and sub–dominance of Faunipollenites (=Protohaploxypinus) along with Caheniasaccites, Plicatipollenites, Potonieisporites, Barakarites, Arcuatipollenites, Striatopodocarpites, etc. Megaspores are represented by three genera and nine species comprising Bokarosporites rotundus, Bokarosporites sp., Jhariatriletes filiformis, Singhisporites baculatus, S. indica, S. nautiyalii, S. radialis, S. surangei and Singhisporites sp. The palynomorph assemblage indicates an early Permian age equivalent to the lower Barakar Formation.

“…A literature survey of the palynological works from Talchir sediments of the Wardha Basin is relatively less and requires further studies. Many palynologic studies were carried out in the lower Permian Barakar and upper Permian Kamthi formations (Agashe & Chitnis, 1970, 1972a, 1972bAnand-Prakash & Khare, 1974;Bharadwaj & Anand-Prakash, 1974;Agashe et al, 1981;Sarate, 1985;Bhattacharrya, 1997;Kumar & Jha, 2000;Jha et al, 2007;Sabina et al, 2007;Shivanna et al, 2008Shivanna et al, , 2011Shivanna et al, , 2014Kalkar et al, 2010;Kavali et al, 2010Kavali et al, , 2016Jha et al, 2011;Sarate et al, 2016Sarate et al, , 2017Murthy et al, 2017Murthy et al, , 2019.…”

The age of the Talchir Formation corresponding to the lower part of the Gondwana (Permo-Carboniferous) Sequence in India is revised in the light of palynostratigraphic data associated with radiometric dating generated in Gondwana. New data was generated from seven samples of the Talchir Formation obtained from Well 131, located in the Penganga area of Wardha Valley Coalfield (Maharashtra State, central India). Two assemblages were demarcated based on the stratigraphic distribution of 63 species of spores (23 taxa), pollen grains (35 taxa), and phytoplankton. Palynoassociation I recognized in the two basal samples yielded few Punctatisporites spores and monosaccate pollen grains. Palynoassociation II is demarcated in the overlying three samples characterized by spores and pollen grains that are more diversified and abundant than in the other two samples. Several taxa (Concavissimisporites grumulus, Converrucosisporites confluens, Cyclogranisporites gondwanensis, Verrucosisporites andersonii, Latusipollenites quadrisaccatus, Marsupipollenites striatus, Pakhapites fusus, Striatoabieites multistriatus, Vittatina subsaccata, Vittatina vittifera) are shared with palynozones radiometrically constrained to the latest Pennsylvanian-early Cisuralian in Argentina, Brazil, Africa, and Australia. Therefore, we propose a Kasimovian to Ghezelian-Asselian age for the palynoassociations I and II of the Talchir Formation and a correlation with the Potonieisporites neglectus and Plicatipollenites gondwanensis Zones of Tiwari & Tripathi, respectively. This approach significantly improves the stratigraphic correlations of the Indian palynozones in Gondwana.
