Palaeo Environmental Study of the Flora of Deccan Intertrappean Beds from Some New Fossiliferous Localities ?A Review

The major objective of the Palaeobotanical studies is to understand the vegetation pattern of the entire geological time scale. Since the vegetation of a particular time and space is directly governed by the local environmental conditions, a better understanding of the subject can provide important information on Palaeoenvironmental conditions of the associated rock and sediments. Palaeoenvironment deals with the environmental, climatic and ecological conditions of the geological past. Environment is the surrounding condition by which contemporaneous plants and animals are influenced and subjected to modifications in their growth and development. Environment of a particular region is thus controlled by climate. The present review is about Palaeoenvironmental study of some new fossiliferous localities.
