A rich assemblage of the larger foraminifera has been recorded for the first time from the Subathus of Beragua-Jangalgali Area, Jammu & Kashmir State. Eleven species of the larger foraminifera belonging to four genera represented by three families, have been studied and described in this paper. This foraminiferal assemblage suggests a Laki (Lower Eocene) age for these formations. The Subathus of the present area have been correlated with the other similar formations occurring in India. The micropalaeontological investigation of the area leads to the conclusion that the Subathus were deposited in neritic environment.

Abstract


A rich assemblage of the larger foraminifera has been recorded for the first time from the Subathus of Beragua-Jangalgali Area, Jammu & Kashmir State. Eleven species of the larger foraminifera belonging to four genera represented by three families, have been studied and described in this paper. This foraminiferal assemblage suggests a Laki (Lower Eocene) age for these formations. The Subathus of the present area have been correlated with the other similar formations occurring in India. The micropalaeontological investigation of the area leads to the conclusion that the Subathus were deposited in neritic environment.
