  • First Online:
Microbiota from the Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeocene Boundary Transition in the Deccan Intertrappean Beds of Central India

Part of the book series: Topics in Geobiology ((TGBI,volume 54))

Abstract

This chapter discusses in detail the current status and systematics of Indian Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeocene microbiota like charophytes, ostracods, foraminiferans and fishes from Chhindwara District, Madhya Pradesh. The microbiota has been revised, synonymised and described systematically in a detailed manner for the first time from the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary transition of Chhindwara District, Madhya Pradesh. Charophytes represent the floral component of the Chhindwara fossil biotas. The assemblage comprises ten species from the locality Jhilmili, including three new species (Chara chhindwaraensis sp. nov., Microchara shivarudrappai sp. nov., Platychara closasi sp. nov., Platychara compressa Peck and Reker, J Paleontol 22(1):85–90, 1948, Platychara perlata Peck and Reker, Novit Am Mus Nat Hist 1369:1–6, 1947, Platychara raoi Bhatia and Mannikeri, Geophytology 6(1):75–81, 1976, Platychara sahnii Bhatia and Mannikeri, Geophytology 6(1):75–81, 1976, Platychara sp., Nemegtichara cf. grambasti Bhatia et al., Deccan volcanism, a Late Cretaceous event: conclusive evidence of ostracodes.

The assemblage is one of the most diverse known from the Deccan intertrappean beds of peninsular India. The ostracods form an important component of the Jhilmili assemblage. A total of 23 ostracod taxa including three new species, Buntonia whittakerensis sp. nov., Limnocythere martensi sp. nov. and Zonocypris penchi sp. nov., are recovered from the intertrappean beds of Jhilmili. The other known ostracod species are: (Neocyprideis raoi Jain, Rev de Microplaeontol 21(2):51–58, 1978, Limnocythere deccanensis Khosla et al.
