Further observations on plant microfossils from a carbonaceous shale (Krols) near Naini Tal, with a discussion on the age of the beds

Abstract

The plant microfossils recovered from a carbonaceous shale from Brewery, near Naini Tal, belonging to the Krol series, have been described. The recognizable dispersed spores have been assigned to eleven genera and eighteen species. They have been arranged according to the system proposed by Potonie and Kremp. The isolated seeds and fragments of woods and cuticles have been grouped as "Plantae incertae sedis". The age of the Krolseries has been discussed in the light of the microfossils recovered.
