The research areas of Geology and Palaeontology Group are Stratigraphy and Palaentology of the Cretaceous basins and Quaternary Deposits occuring of the Penninsular India and Andaman Islands.
The Taxonomic work on various fossil groups such as Echinoids, Bivalves, Ammonoids, Bryozoa, Gastropods and Polychaets from the Bagh Beds has helped to consider these beds as endemic subprovince of Mediterranean province.
A Definite Stratigraphic sequence of Wadhwan Formation was established.
The Paleontological work on the Cretaceous of Cauvery Basin has revealed several new taxa of the bivalves, gastopods, ammonoids, brachiopods echinoids and serpulids.
Report of fossil fish from the Bamanbor Intertrappean is significant.
This group has pioneered the ichnological studies of the Mesozoic deposits of Peninsular India.
The foraminiferal studies assign mid Cretaceous age to the Bagh Beds.
Several collaborative programes on the Paleontological research with Western Australian Museum, Perth, Australia, University of Plymouth, U.K. Natural History Museum, London, U.K. and Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad had been undertaken.
Micorpaleontological studies of the Late Mesozoic and Quaternary deposits are being carried out.
Ichnological studies of the Late Mesozoic and younger formations have been undertaken.
Micropaleontological work on the Marginal Marine environments of the West Coast of India and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Ichonological studies of Late Mesozoic as younger formations of Peninsular India.
