Abstract
Reduviasporonites considered as a fossil algal/fungal remain, is usually recorded at the proximity of Permian-Triassic boundary. Till date it has been reported from China, Australia, Russia, Greenland, Austria and Saudi Arabia. Here we report a new species of Reduviasporonites (R. indicus)-a very significant evidence for mass extinction event at PTB for the first time from Indian Lower Gondwana sediments of Mand Coalfield, Chhattisgarh. Recent geochemical study of Reduviasporonites suggests that it is of an algal origin rather than fungal. The size of the grain depends on the palaeolatitudational difference.
