Integrated palaeobotanical and palynological analysis of subsurface Gondwana sedimentary succession (Jurassic-Cretaceous) in Jangareddygudem area, Chintalapudi Sub-basin, South India: Stratigraphical and phytogeographical implications

Similarity of the Antarctic palynofloras with those known from Godavari and other basins on the east coast of India confirms continental reconstructions that show Lambert Graben of East Antarctica to have been contiguous with eastern India prior to Gondwana break-up. The non-marine character of the palynomorphs suggests that marine conditions in this region of the Godavari Graben did not develop until at least early Early Cretaceous time.
