    Abstract
    Sixteen sediment samples have been investigated for the distribution of nannoplankton. Of the total 38 species encountered, 14 are modern and remaining 24 are reworked fossils ranging in age from Eocene to Pliocene. Majority of the reworked fossils indicates that they are of Miocene age. Modern nannoplankton reveals their affinity to the tropical conditions. It is concluded that the source of reworked fossil may mainly be the outcrops of Miocene occuring on the Andaman Sea floor and in part from the turbidites resulting from deposition of the sediment transported by river Irrawaddy.
