Abstract

The present paper deals with the preliminary palynological investigation of the spore-pollen recovered from the bore-hole no. 14, drilled near Matanamadh, in the district of Kutch, Gujarat state, India. 32 spore-pollen genera and 45 species have been described; out of them 9 genera viz. Rostriapollenites, Nymphaeoipollis, Cryptopolyporites, Umbellijeroipollenites, Polybrevicolporites, Sastriipollenites, Pseudonothojagidites, Sonneratioipollis and Lakipollis are new. The assemblage is dominated by Angiosperms comprising monocolpate, dicolporate, tricolpate, tricolporate, polycolpate, polycolporate, monoporate, triporate and panporate pollen. Pteridophytic spores are meagrely represented.
