Four species of coralline algae are recognised and described from the Fulra Limestone (middle Eocene). These include Sporolithon sp. 1 Bassi, 1998; Mesophyllum sp.; Phymatolithon sp. Rasser&Piller, 1999 and Melobesioideae gen. et spec. indet. 1. The palaeoecological significance of the recovered algal taxa has been pointed out to indicate the scope of algal flora in palaeoenvironmental studies.
