Abstract

The Girujan Clay Formation is demarcated as Bangladeshopollenites barishalensis Zone, which is equivalent to middle-upper Siwalik sediments of Punjab Basin. The mangrove and coastal palynotaxa present in this formation indicate that these sediments have been deposited under the delta condition in a supratidal environment. The Girujan Clay Formation is considered to be of Mio-Pliocene in age. The DupiTila Formation is recognized here as Corrugatisporites sp. Zone. This formation is equivalent to Namsang bed of Assam-Meghalaya region. The palynological assemblage of this formation is suggestive of a high degree of precipitation and the presence of rainfed river system prevailing in the basin of deposition. It is of Plio-Pleistocene in age.
