Microbiota from Vindhyan Supergroup of the Karauli-Sapotra region of North-Eastern Rajasthan, India

Abstract

Microbiota comprising algae, acritarcha and a few taxa of unassignable affinities from the Semri, Rewa and Bhander groups of Vindhyan Supergroup in Karauli-Sapotra area is recorded. The assemblage comprises eleven genera of algae and four genera of acritarcha. Of these, two genera, viz., Saccifera and Vindhyacapsiopsis are new. The microbiota assemblage shows gradual increase in morphological complexity from older to younger horizons, though the number of forms are scanty.
