Abstract

Trace fossils namely, Planolites, Planolites montanus, Thalassinoides and stuff burrows belonging to the Lameta Formation of Central India are reported for the first time from two new localities, i.e., Salbardi and Belkher area. Both the exposures are well represented by the typical marker lithounits as of Jabalpur, Nand-Dongargaon area of central India, i.e., greenish yellow sandstone, clays of various shades, chertified and brecciated limestones, etc. These successions are devoid of megaforal remains, therefore, these biogenic structures play a significant role in the interpretation of palaeoenvironment and palaeoecology during the deposition of the Lameta sediments. The trace fossils assemblage shows that the benthonic community was mainly polychaetes and crustaceans.
