Palynological analysis of Bore hole RJNE-8 and RJNE-16 (drilled in the northern part of the basin) reveals presence of an assemblage which is correlatable with palynoflora of Upper Raniganj age. Appearance of elements, like Lundbladispora, Densoisporites, Lunatisporites, Goubinispora and Pretricoipipollenites indicates closing phase of Late Permian palynoflora. These results extend the presence of Upper Permian sediments up to south of village Barahat (Bara) along Godda Pirpainti Road in Rajmahal Basin.

Abstract


Palynological analysis of Bore hole RJNE-8 and RJNE-16 (drilled in the northern part of the basin) reveals presence of an assemblage which is correlatable with palynoflora of Upper Raniganj age. Appearance of elements, like Lundbladispora, Densoisporites, Lunatisporites, Goubinispora and Pretricoipipollenites indicates closing phase of Late Permian palynoflora. These results extend the presence of Upper Permian sediments up to south of village Barahat (Bara) along Godda Pirpainti Road in Rajmahal Basin.
