Abstract
The paper reports on plant megafossils found in the lower part of the Pariwar (Parihar) Formation exposod in the Jaisalmer Basin, Rajasthan. The plant fossils belong to the groups Filicales, Cycadales, Bennettitales and Coniferales. The identifiable species are: ?Gleichenites sp., Phlebopteris sp., Frond type I, Taeniopteris vitlata, T. densinervis, T. spatulata, Pterophyllum sp., Otozamites imbricatus, Ptilophyllum acutifolium, Elatocladus conferta, ?Elatocladus sp. and Pagiophyllum sp. In general composition the fossil assemblage is more akin to that known from the Kutch Basin of Gujarat, and is probably Upper Jurassic in age.
