Abstract

The present paper deals with the spores and pollen grains recovered from the various geological sections of the Tura Formation exposed in Garo Hills. The palynological assemblage comprises 88 species assignable to 51 genera. Out of these, 12 species belonging to 9 genera are new. The assemblage is dominated by angiosperms comprising monocolpate, dicolpate, tricolpate, tricolporate polycolpate, polycolporate, monoporate, triporate and panporate pollen. Pteridophytic spores are less in number.
