Abstract

The Lower Triassic argillaceous sequence of Pahlgam ( Kashmir Himalaya) area is described for the first time.This sequence is enriched with disaccate pollen and consists of microplankton ( acritarchs, tasmanitids) in fair distribution. The stratigraphic distribution of these organic-walled micro-fossil groups in the Lowe-Triassic horizons is included and it is concluded that this is environmentally influenced. The occurrence of miospore in combination with microplankton (phytoplankton) and nature of associated mineral matter provide information regarding palaeoenvironmental conditions of the sediments.
