SARATE2* 1BIRBAL SAHNI INSTITUTE OF PALAEOSCIENCES, 53 UNIVERSITY ROAD, LUCKNOW-226007 2PLOT NO. 27, 3rd BUS STOP, GOPAL NAGAR, NAGPUR-440022 *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Palynofloral and palynofacies investigations have been carried out in borehole NP-74 from a Nand–Besur Block of the Nagpur District, Bandar Coalfield, Wardha Basin, Maharashtra. Palynofloral qualitative and quantitative analysis has revealed two distinct palynoassemblages I and II. The abundance of Scheuringipollenites spp. (40-51%) and sub dominance of Parasaccites spp. (25-30%) characterizes Palynoassemblage-I (277-283m). The dominance of Scheuringipollenites spp. (30-78%) along with Faunipollenites spp., Striatopodocarpites spp. and taeniates (13-28%) demarcates Palynoassemblage-II (102.5-271m). Palynoassemblage-I and II show its resemblance to the upper Karharbari and lower Barakar palynoflora of the early Permian age, respectively. On the basis of the recovered palynoflora, Artinskian age is assigned to these palynoassemblages (I and II). Four genera of megaspores have also been recovered at a depth of 202 m. By the palynofacies investigations, five distinct Palynofacies Association (A-E) has been identified. Palynofacies Association A is demarked by the predominance of the spore-pollen; Palynofacies Association B is characterized by the dominance of structured terrestrial; Palynofacies Association C is dominated by charcoal; Palynofacies Association D is distinguished by the dominance of degraded organic matter and Palynofacies Association E is marked by the predominance of amorphous organic matter.

Mahesh Bilwa * Nagamadhu. C. J Prameela. M Department of Earth Science, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore – 570 006, Karnataka, Ind ia *E-mail: [email protected] -mysore.ac.in, [email protected] Abstract Palynological investigation of Lower Gondwana sediments of Goutham Khani Open Cast Mine (GKOCM) from Kothagudem sub basin of Godav ari Valley Coalfield, Andhra Pradesh of Peninsular India have revealed two palynoassemblages are related to Early Permian (Barakar Formation). Palynoassemblage – A abundantly occurrence of Scheuringipollenites along with other common taxa like Parasaccites, Ibisporites , Primuspollenites, Sulcatisporites, Rhizomaspora, Densipollenites and Corisaccites and Palynoassemblage – B dominated by Scheuringipollenites along with sub dominance of Faunipollenites, Striatopodocarpites , Parasaccites, Striatites, Tiwariasporis, Rhizomaspora, Verticipollenites , Platysaccus, Primuspollenites, Lunatisporites , Latosporites, Ibisporites and Distriatites. The above demarcated palynoassemblages are applied to correlate with other horizons of Lower Gondwana deposits of India and a lso to fix the relative age for the sediments under investigation. Key words ： Permian Age, Lower Gondwana, Palynoassemblage, Godavari Valley Coalfield, Sothern India. 1.Introduction Gondwana sediments of India can be broadly classified under two main geographic areas like Peninsular and Extra Peninsular regions. Presently based o n Gondwana floral remains like mega and micro fossil evidences can be applied to divide in to Lower Gondwana and Upper Gondwana sometimes Middle Gondwana with remains of Dicardium floral (mixed characters of both Monocot and Dicots) remains. Godavari Vall ey coalfield is a store house for non coking coal varity in Southern India.

  • On the Microscopic Nature of Coals from Majri Area, Wardha Valley Coalfield, Maharashtra
    ON THE MICROSCOPIC NATURE OF COALS FROM MAJRI AREA, WARDHA VALLEY COALFIELD, MAHARASHTRA H. S. PAREEK & B. C. PANDE A 1/4, Paper Mill Colony, Lucknow ABSTRACT of deposition, the present Wardha-Godavari The microscopic nature and composition of the valley basin, is evidenced by the similarity coals from Majri (200 8': 790 2') area, 'Vardha of the geological features, lithological nature Valley coalfield, Maharashtra, about which no of the rock types, and a cover of the Upper data whatsoever exists, are presented in this paper. Gondwanas existing between these coal• These are microfragmental coals, comprising inerti• nite, vitrinite and exinite (sporinite), in decreasing fields. Pande (1970) reports the recer.t order of abundance, occurring as mainly durite, findings of coal-measures under the younger fusite, "intermediates ", c!arite and vitrite.

    Journal of Engineering Geology Volume XLIII, Nos. 1 & 2 A bi-annual Journal of ISEG June-December 2018 Kinematic analysis to assess the stability of slopes in opencast coalmines Sharma, D. N. Retired Dy. General Manager (Geology), Singareni Collieries Co Ltd, Visakhapatnam -530051, Andhra Pradesh, India. Abstract A detailed and systematic geological mapping was carried out to pick up the discontinuities in working benches in open cast coal mine of PK OC-II Mine and RG OC-II Mine of the Singareni Collieries Co. Ltd. A total of 172 joint readings were recorded in sandstone benches while 50 readings in metamorphic benches. Besides this, major fault and some minor slips were identified and mapped. Filtered the data during mapping at field level itself, without compromising with the quality. In RG OC-II Mine, besides sedimentary benches, metamorphic benches were also mapped since mine authorities reported that 60cm of sliding was observed in High wall towards SE-NW and was along the major boundary fault (F1) between metamorphic and sedimentary formations. The paper deals with the structural mapping to assess the stability of over burden benches in the opencast coalmines to assess the stability of slopes with kinematic analysis by using the DIPS software. 1. Introduction: Coal is the most important and abundant fossil fuel in India. It accounts for 55% of the country's energy need. The country's industrial heritage was built upon indigenous coal. Commercial primary energy consumption in India has grown in the last four decades. The current per capita commercial primary energy consumption in India is about 350 kgoe/year, which is well below that of developed countries.

  • A Regional Assessment of the Potential for Co2 Storage in the Indian Subcontinent
    A REGIONAL ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL FOR CO2 STORAGE IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT Technical Study Report No. 2008/2 May 2008 This document has been prepared for the Executive Committee of the IEA GHG Programme. It is not a publication of the Operating Agent, International Energy Agency or its Secretariat. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY The International Energy Agency (IEA) was established in 1974 within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to implement an international energy programme. The IEA fosters co-operation amongst its 26 member countries and the European Commission, and with the other countries, in order to increase energy security by improved efficiency of energy use, development of alternative energy sources and research, development and demonstration on matters of energy supply and use. This is achieved through a series of collaborative activities, organised under more than 40 Implementing Agreements. These agreements cover more than 200 individual items of research, development and demonstration. The IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme is one of these Implementing Agreements. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND CITATIONS This report was prepared as an account of the work sponsored by the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme.
