Abstract

The present paper deals with the palynology of Bhuj sediments exposed on the banks of Pur and Pat rivers near Bhuj, Kutch. 3 sections were measured and samples collected for systematic study.

The assemblage is dominated by Impardecispora, Applanopsis and Araucariacites; Laricoidites and Schizosporis are frequently found while Concavissimisporites, Bhujiasporites, Matonisporites, Boseisporites and Alisporites are rare.
