Zone- II Parasaccites-Callumispora Assemblage zone<br />

(Lower Karharbari).<br />

Zone- I Parasaccites-Plieotipollenites Assemblage zone<br />

(Talchir».<br />

The extension <strong>of</strong> these biozones in the Lower Gondwana<br />

beds <strong>of</strong> other coalfields has also been traced.<br />

2.5.2. Morphotaxonomic study <strong>of</strong> Trilete genera<br />

The monograph on the miospore group Varitrilctes has<br />

been completed and the morpho taxonomic study <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Corisaccites-Gultulapollenites-complex is being continued.<br />

2.5.3. Permo-Triassic palynology<br />

Palyno-dating <strong>of</strong> the samples from bore-cores from East<br />

Raniganj coalfield proves the extension <strong>of</strong> Permo-Triassic<br />

deposition <strong>of</strong> the Raniganj Coalfield beyond its present<br />

limits, towards the eastern side. The subsurface coal<br />

deposits in the eastern part <strong>of</strong> the \-Vest Bengal basin have<br />

thus been indicated.<br />

The Permian-Triassic sediments <strong>of</strong> Tethyan Himalaya,<br />

Malia Johar area have indicated a palynological affinity<br />

with the Gondwana deposits <strong>of</strong> the Indian peninula, rather<br />

than wirh the European <strong>of</strong> Angara region. It has been<br />

concluded that the original provenance <strong>of</strong> the Tethyan<br />

Permo·Triassic deposits was in the Indian Plate.<br />

2.5.4. Detailed morphographic studies <strong>of</strong> sporae<br />

dispersae from Giridih Coalfield, Bihar and from Siang<br />

District, Arunachal Pradesh art" being continued, while<br />
