Abstract

Study of Indian Palaeozoic gymnospermous woods shows 19 genera and 44 species, of which 11 genera and 21 species are known with pith, primary xylem and secondary xylem. The remaining 8 genera and 23 species are identified using secondary xylem only. They are distributed in the Barakar, Raniganj and Kamthi Formations of the Lower Gondwanas. To data there are no records from the Talchir, Karharbari and the Kulti (Barren Measures) Formations. An annotated synopsis of valid genera and species is given along with a list of invalid fossil wood taxa lacking diagnostic features.
