Abstract | Makardhokada area is located at a distance ofabout 7 km west of Umrer Mine, and as such represents the western extension of the Umrer Coalfield, Nagpur District, Maharashtra. Subsurface explorations for coal exploitation have revealed the existence of a number of coal seams in this area. Palynologicalinvestigations have been taken up on the sub-surface sediments collected from Bore hole No. MR-157, drilled near Makardhokada Township, to understand the palynofloral contents of these sediments for palynodating. The palynoflora is characterized by the dominance of Striatopodocarpites followed byFaunipollenites, Lahirites, Arcuatipollenites, Rhizomaspora, Crescentipollenites, Verticipollenites,Navalesporites, etc. which suggests the existence of Late Permian sediments (= Raniganj Formation) in Makardhokada area. |
