Planolites beverleyensis (Billings) Pemberton and Frey is being reported from the Bhaduka Limestone. Wadhwan Formation (Cretaceous) of Kathiawar, Gujarat, wherefrom only one trace fossil. viz., Feddenichnus feddeni Chiplonkar and Borkar was reported. Bryozoa from the Bhaduka Limestone ascribe a palaeoenvironment suitable to suspension feeders. However. Planolites along with Feddenichnus suggests palaeoenvironment congenial to infaunal deposit feeders.Keywords

A trace fossil occurring in an unusual and peculiar way was found in the upper Bhander Sandstone (Bhander Group, Vindhyan Supergroup) from near Sagoni, district Damoh, Madhya Pradesh. It is an unbranched, smooth, meandering trail, preserved in negative epirelief on the upper surface of a ripple marked sandstone. Individual trails, preserved within nineteen consecutive troughs without crossing crests anywhere, are restricted to only one of the flanks of the ripples. Trail-bearing flanks are on one and the same side of their respective troughs. This trail, identified as Cochlichnus Hitchcock is assigned a Vendian age.Keywords

Horizontally disposed, curved to gently sinuous, unbranched burrows, with a thin but distinct lining, are found at village Mardi Shivapur, Belgaum district, Karnataka State. They occur In the Yadha lll Formation, Lokapur Subgroup, Bagalkot Group, Kaladgi Supergroup. On the basis of presence of thin wall and fairly uniform diameter, these burrows are identified as Palaeophycus tubularis, Hall. Draping of later burrows over earlier ones and downward deflection of sediment laminae due to bioturbation provide evidences for their biogenic origin. In view of the radiometric dates of the Kaladgl rocks, these burrows are assigned a mid-Riphean age. This not only sets the lower limit ofthe range ofthe ichnogenus Palaeophycus at mid-Riphean, but also supports the view of Glaessner that the metazoans appeard some 1000 m.y. ago, much earlier than the Ediacaran period.- Gastrochaenolites Bioerosion in the Kalyanpur Limestone (Pliocene) of Dwarka Area, Kathiawar, Gujarat

Well preserved flask shaped borings belonging to ichnogenus Gastrochaenolites Leymerie, (1842) are being reported from the Kalyanpur Limestone Member (Pliocene) of Dwarka Formation, Jamnagar district, Kathiawar Region, Gujarat. The ichnofauna consists of Gastrochaenolites ampullatus Kelly and Bromley, G. cluniformis Kelly and Bromley, G. lapidicus Kelly and Bromley, G. orbicularis Kelly and Bromley, G. ornatus Kelly and Bromley, G. torpedo Kelly and Bromley, G. turbinatus Kelly and Bromley, and Gastrochaenolites isp. Though individuals of groups other than bivalves are known to create Gastrochaenolites-like borings, these borings were evidently emplaced by bivalves alone, confirmed by the presence of bivalve casts in some of the specimens. This hardground suggests an intraformational break in deposition.Keywords

An ichnoassemblage from the Fort Member, Jaisalmer Formation, occurring in a hill north of the city of Jaisalmer is described. It comprises Arenicolites tenuis isp. nov., Bichordites isp., Planolites isp., Rhizocoralliurn irregulare Mayer, Rhizocorallium jenense Zenker, Taenidium serpentinurn Heer and Thalassinoides isp. Overall paucity of repichnia in an ichnoassemblage vis-a-vis noticeable dominance of domichnia and fodinichnia implies abundance of detrital nutrients. Host rocks yielding this ichnoassemblage are current bedded calcarenite showing fine shell hash along current beds and clayey limestones with presence of small, lenticular storm bed intercalations. They suggest near-shore, moderate-to strong-energy marine conditions rich in organic nutrients, supporting inferences drawn on the basis of trace fossils. The beds containing this ichnoassemblage are assigned ages ranging from Bathonian to Callovian, and hence considered here Middle Jurassic.Keywords

Idiomorphic clionid borings were discovered on some of the oyster shells occurring in limestone intercalations within the Claystone Member of the Chhasra Formation (Burdigalian, Miocene), Kachchh, Gujarat. Epoxy resin was injected in a fragmentary shell of Crassostrea gingensis, which subsequently was completely dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid. Examination of artificial casts of borings, thus obtained, revealed presence of three ichnospecies of Entobia. An open camerate system with long, cylindrical chambers is diagnostic of E. catenifomis, while camerate system of E. laquea consists of lace-like network of small, globose, equidimensional chambers. Entobia isp. A shows limited exploratory threads and small irregularly distributed apertures. Entobian borings suggest clear, well-Illuminated, shallow, sublittoral waters with little sediment input. However, proliferation of these borings is not very extensive in the limestone intercalations under consideration, suggesting that the spell of nondeposition must have been short. It is interesting to note that out of seven oyster species known from the Miocene strata of Kachchh, clionid borings were observed on only two species viz., Hyotissa hyotis and Crassostrea gingensis.Keywords
