The palynological assemblage of the Akli Lignite in Barmer District of Rajasthan contains a rich variety of microforaminiferal linings.Three types of microforaminiferal linings belonging to benthic communities occur. Two main occurring morphotypes: trochospiral and single chambered types are most common in the assemblage. These linings are less abundant than spores , pollen grains and dinoflagellates.The paleoecological and paleoenvironmental significance of these microforaminiferal linings suggesting their deposition in low salinity conditions and at a relatively shallow depths in an embayment of an epicontinental sea of Paleocene-Eocene age in Barmer Basin.
