Microfossils from an Oil Shale of Saline Series in the Fathepur Maira Gorge, Salt Range, Punjab

Abstract

Microfossils are described from an oil shale of the Saline series, collected by the late Professor B. Sabni from the Fatehpur Maira Gorge. The plant-remains include pollen grains of a definitely angiospermous character, which are reported for the first time from this formation. The microfossils support the theory of a Tertiary age for the Saline series.
