The megaflora-rich intertrappean cherts near the village Mohgaon Kalan in Chhindwara District, Madhya Pradesh has been known since 1934 when K. P. Rode1 first reported dicotyledonous woods from this intertrappean. Sahni and Rode carried out pioneering work on megaflora of this horizon and during the following seven decades numerous additional megafloral remains, representing pteridophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms, algae and fungi have been reported.

Abstract


The megaflora-rich intertrappean cherts near the village Mohgaon Kalan in Chhindwara District, Madhya Pradesh has been known since 1934 when K. P. Rode1 first reported dicotyledonous woods from this intertrappean. Sahni and Rode carried out pioneering work on megaflora of this horizon and during the following seven decades numerous additional megafloral remains, representing pteridophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms, algae and fungi have been reported.
