BSIP intricacies of Disphaerogena-a latest Maastrichtian-Danian dinoflagellate cyst genus, was resolved. On the basis of dinoflagellate cyst evidences the lower part of Trichinopoly Formation (Cauvery Basin) was dated as Middle-Upper Turonian age. The diatom assemblages recovered from Havelock Island indicated a Miocene age for Long and Inglis formations. Plant remains from Pre- and Proto-Historic sites The researches on botanical remains from Pre- and Proto-Historic archaeological sites in north and north-western India have provided significant results. For the first time the studies from Sanghol, district Ludhiana, Punjab have shown the use of varied plant products with healthy constituents and agreeable aroma in the traditional sacrificial rituals. Geochronometry of Indian rocks Radiocarbon dating of Quaternary deposits and archaeological remains has been continued for chronological frame work of Quaternary events and cultural developments in the subcontinent. The clay and shell samples from Salt Lake area, Calcutta, Kanya Kumari, Tamil Nadu, Earthquake site (Latur) and Maharashtra were analysed for age determination by C-14 method. The bottom most oyster bed from Koparkhairna District, Thane was dated as 6240 ± 120 yrs B.P. The samples from Mariana, Kodaikanal and Dangmal, Mahanadi Delta, Orissa were dated to reconstruct the palaeofloristics in south India and Orissa.
