This note records four nongeniculate coralline algal species viz. Neogoniolithon sp., Sporolirhon sp., Mesophyllum sp. and Lithoporella sp. and 3 geniculate coralline algal species Jania sp., Corallina sp. ancl Subterraniphyllum sp, from the Early Miocene Bombay Formation, Bombay Offshore Basin, India. Based on coralline algal assemblage, it is inferred that the limestone of Bombay Formation was deposited under low to moderate energy conditions with 10 to 20 rn water depth.
