“…Comparing with Eocene microfossils from the Indian Palana lignites (RAo & VIMAL, 1950 we see that all the distinct forms differ from those of our forms and the same is to be said of the spores and pollen grains of the Eocene lignites of Dandot, Pakistan (VIMAL, 1952).…”

In this paper sporae dispersae of the Cannanore lignites have been described. For taxonomic purposes we have made use of the rules of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. It was necessary to create some new genera and several species, because our forms do not agree with most of the forms which till now have been studied from the Indian Tertiaries. We suppose that the youngest Tertiary has, till now, not been studied, and that our lignite perhaps belongs more or less to the Upper Miocene or Pliocene while the forms described till now are probably of Lower Miocene.

“…The spore has been assigned by different workers to various genera. Vimal (1952) for the first time reported this type from the Dandot Lignites (Lower Eocene), West Punjab, Pakistan. Bose and Sah (1964) reported similar types from Laitryngew Coalfield, Assam.…”

The paper presents the first account of the microfloral assemblage of Akli Lignite. The palynological assemblage of the lignite is recovered from the subcrop lignite of dug-well sections an around depth of 30 metres near Kapurdi (25°54'30": 71°22'30") (the well locally known as Bachal Singh Ka Kua). This is characterized by the dominance of angiosperms with subdued amount of pteridophytes, the gymnosperms being practically absent. 25 genera and 34 species of dispersed fossil spores and pollen grains are described. Of these, 1 genus and 9 species are new. The overall assemblage recovered so far at this preliminary stage of investigation suggests a Palaeocene-Eocene age for this lignite sequence.

“…(1991) is comparable to the pollen of Annona though Muller (1981) rejected its affinity with this genus. Others contemplate it to be a monocot (see Caratini et al, 1991) Dandotiaspora dilata is found in Dandot, Pakistan (Vimal, 1952) and Colombia (Guzman, 1967). The author could also recover a few specimens from the Palaeocene of Senegal.…”

The Late Cretaceous and Tertiary palynological assemblages of India are divided into several phytogeoprovinces and cenozones. The Senonian palynofloral of India is clubbed with Brazil and West African palynoflora as Constantinisporis phytogeoprovince characterized by the presence of Constantinisporis, Victorisporis and Andreisporis. The Danian to Middle Eocene palynofloral of India are placed under pantropical Proxapertites operculatus zone and this is further subdivided into Acrostichumsporites meghalayensis subzone, Dandotiaspora dilata subzone, Kielmeyerapollenites syncolporatus subzone, Lakiapollis ovatus subzone, Tricolporopilites robustus subzone and Pellicieroipollis langenheimii subzone. The Oligocene and Miocene palynofossils are placed under Trisyncolpites ramanujamii subzone and Hibisceaepollenites robustispinosus subzone respectively and come under Striatriletes susannae pantropical zone. A comparison of the Indian palynological succession with Borneo, Caribbean and Atlantic Tertiary palynological assemblages reveal that the trans-Atlantic palynological assemblages have closer similarity than others.
