Polospores from Jurassics of Rajasthan, India

Abstract

RAJASTHAN (western India) provides almost a virgin field for palynological investigations. The results recorded here are based on samples from the two wells drilled by the Exploratory Tube-Well Organization in the Jaisalmer area. The first well (26° 54′ 30″ N.; 70° 57′ E.) reaching a depth of 1,257 ft. passed through the Jaisalmer Limestone Formation (Oxfordian–Callovian age), underlying the Lathi Formation (Lower–Middle Jurassic age). The other well (26° 51′ 30″ N.; 71° 11′ E.) reached a depth of 965 ft. and passed through the Lathi Formation only.
