MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS TO ENUMERATE A FEW
1. Established four new genera/taxa: Surangephyllum elongatum, Khania dhenkanalensis, Handapaphyllum indicum, Tatapania indica and T. obcordata belonging to glossopteridales, ginkgoales and equisetales group of plants respectively.

2. Fifteen new species were erected, seven belong to the genus Glossopteris, two belong to Tatapania and one each of Surangephyllum, Handapaphyllum, Khania, Nesowalesia, Benlightfootia and Euryphyllum.

3. Reconstruction of vegetational scenario of the geological past: Vegetation reconstructions of the Handapa area (District Angul) and Ib River Coalfield area (Sambalpur District) in Orissa, during Late Permian times have been attempted.

4. Reconstruction of whole plants: The plants of Neomariopteris hughesii, Handapaphyllum indicum, Senotheca murulidihensis and Schizoneura gondwanensis bearing Tatapania cones were reconstructed on the basis of a large number of cast and carbonised specimens of these forms preserved beautifully along with leaves and stems.



5. Umkomasia (female fructification of Dicroidium plant, a Triassic marker fossil) has been discovered from the Permian strata of Tapapani-Ramkola Coalfield, Chhattisgarh. This is the first record of this genus from the Upper Permian sediments across the Gondwanaland countries.
WORK REFERED IN THE TEXT-BOOKS:
Six of our research findings have been included in the latest book “Paleobotany-The biology and evolution of fossil plants. Academic Press, Burlington, USA by T.N. Taylor, E. L. Taylor & Michael Krings (2009).

They are related with:



1. Status of the genus Surangephyllum in the southern Gondwanaland flora (Chandra and

Singh, 1986).



2. In-situ preserved Vertebraria and the palaeosoil (Singh and Chandra, 1995)

3. Epidermal features of Euryphyllum (Chandra and Singh, 1996)

4. Phylogeny and reproductive biology of the conifer taxa Buriadia heterophylla (Singh,

Rothwell, Mapes and Chandra, 2003)



5. Indian Cordaitales (Singh, Goswami and Chandra, 2007)

6. The discovery of the Umkomasia (female fruit of Dicroidium, a Triassic marker genus

world over) from the Permian strata in Central India (Chandra, Singh and Jha, 2008).


FIELD EXPERIENCE

Vast field experience of 31 years covering 28 geological and palaeontological excursions to:

1. Raniganj and Giridih Coalfields (in Damodar Basin).

2. Talchir, Ib-River, Korba, Mand-Raigarh, Tatapani-Ramkola, Umaria, Pali, Anuppur, Chirimiri, Hasdev area and Singrauli Coalfields (in Son-Mahanadi Basin).
