Abstract
The palynoflora of subsurface coal-bearing sequence in cores from bore holes TC-1 and TC-2 in Kandmanglam and Marakkanam area, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry Union Territory has been. found to be rich in pteridophyt ic spores. The palyno-assemblage is assignable to the Coptospora cauve riana Zone of Aptian age. The findings add to our knowledge of Gondwan a coal deposits along the east coast of India.
