A note on rare structure of fossil coralline algae from the southwest coast of India

  • Published:
Journal of the Geological Society of India

Abstract

The coralline algae (Rhodophyta) are well preserved in the sediments of the Dwarka Formation in and around Porbandar area, southwest coast of India. There are few records of the preservation of genicula in the fossil coralline algae. Three algal fragments with genicula are noted and recorded from the area.
