To identify metaphytes and metazoan body fossils, ichn<strong>of</strong>ossils<br />
and their relics from the Proterozoic succession and their evolution<br />

To identify organo-sedimentary structures found in association<br />
<strong>of</strong> metaphytes and metazoans and to decipher environmental<br />

To determine the significance <strong>of</strong> metaphytes<br />

Black chert containing oncolites, stromatolites and interbedded cherts from the<br />
Nagod Limestone Formation, Bhander Group <strong>of</strong> Khemri-Kotar Hill, Satna District, Madhya<br />
Pradesh were studied. A mat building biota was identified. The mat contains colonial<br />
spheroidal remains and tubular aseptate forms, both belonging to Cyanobacteria. Problematic<br />
marks from the same formation (at Bainkuiyan) were also investigated. The marks<br />
compare with ichn<strong>of</strong>ossils, belonging to surface trails. 'TWotypes are discernible in which<br />
