The paper discusses the rhythmic nature of the Paleocene-Eocene sequence of northwestern Himalayas. It is concluded that the Subathu Formation comprises the sediments accumulated in three sedimentary rhythms corresponding in close approximation to the Paleocene, Early Eocene and Middle Eocene Epochs. The cause of cyclic sedimentation is attributed to eustatic sea level changes accompanied by subsidence.

It is concluded that the Subathu Formation comprises the sediments accumulated in three sedimentary rhythms corresponding in close approximation to the Paleocene, Early Eocene and Middle Eocene Epochs. The cause of cyclic sedimentation is attributed to eustatic sea level changes accompanied by subsidence.
