The study reports a record of palynological and palynofacies assemblage comprising 29 genera and 34 species of acritarchs, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, fungal and dinoflagellates from the Kothar Section of Nilkanth, Uttarakhand. The lower part of the succession indicates terrestrial warm and humid conditions with inter­mittent marine influences. Presence of dinoflagellate cysts in the middle part shows slight deepening of the shallow basin, while nummulites in the upper part indicate marine conditions. The overall assemblage of the Subathu Kothar area succession dates this formation to Early–Middle Eocene.
