A prolific foraminiferal assemblage comprising fifty-Three species, dominated by the families Vaginulinidae and Nodosariidae, is reported from Middle to Upper Jurassic Chari Formation of Fakirwari, Kutch Mainland. The assemblage includes twenty-Five species reported for the first time from the Indian region. On the basis of a number of short ranging species, a Callovian to Oxfordian age has been assigned to the studied sequence and an attempt has been made to mark the Callovian-Oxfordian boundary within the sequence. The foraminiferal assemblage indicates shallow water, near shore shelf environment with fluctuating shoreline for the exposed sediments. The Fakirwari foraminiferal assemblage exhibits affinity with other Jurassic foraminiferal assemblages of the Tethyan realm, suggesting a close sea connection between Kutch and these regions during Middle to Upper Jurassic times.Keywords

The Chari Formation exposed at Kaiya Dome, Kutch yielded a foraminiferal assemblage comprising 41 species dominated by the family Vaginulinidae. A systematic account of 11 species, reported for the first time form the Indian subcontinent, is presented. The foraminiferal assemblage is employed for preliminary interpretations regarding age, palaeoecology, and palaeobiogeography. The assemblage suggests a Callovian to Oxfordian age for the exposed sequence at Kaiya Dome. A near shore, open marine environment ranging from mid to outer shelf with fluctuating strandline is interpreted on the basis of the recovered foraminiferal assemblage. The Kaiya Dome foraminiferal assemblage exhibits a Tethyan affinity and suggests that the Kutch region, along with neighbouring regions, was engulfed by a shallow southwestern arm of Tethys during Middle to Late Jurassic times.Keywords

In Peninsular India marine Jurassic rocks are well developed in Kutch and Jaisalmer regions. Although there are numerous reports of microfossils particularly foraminifera from the Jurassic rocks of Kutch, only a few foraminiferal studies are available from the Jurassic rocks of Jaisalmer region (Subbotina et al. 1960; Garg and Singh, 1983; Kalia and Chowdhury, 1983; Dave and Chatterjee, 1996). This may be due to the fact that the exposures of Jurassic rocks in Jaisalmer area are not as thick and well exposed as in the Kutch region and are mostly buried under sand dunes.Full Text
