Trilobite and Other Trace Fossils from the Kunzam La Formation, Eastern Lahaul Valley, Himachal Himalaya
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Trilobite locomotion trail Isopodichnus sp., swimming grazing trace Monomorphichnus sp. and resting trace Rusophycus didymus are recorded from the siltstone-shale-quartzarenite sequence of the Kunzam La Formation (Cambrian) from the eastern Lahaul Valley, Himachal Himalaya. Besides these, a ringed conical ichnocoenosis is also reported.
The trilobite traces belong to Cruziana 'facies' which is characteristic of stable infra-littoral to circa-littoral zones. The presence of Rusophycus suggests a rather low energy environment.
