The data contained in this paper pertain to the record of microfauna that indicates the presence of sediments of Miocene-Quaternary age in western Rajasthan. The recovered microfauna consist mainly of foraminifera and ostracoda. The dwarf nature of microfauna indicates stressed palaeoenvironment.Keywords

The paper describes a new species of the conodont form-genus Neospathodus Mosher, under the specific name N. praekummeli sp. nov. The presently recorded new species has a close morphologic and biostratigraphic relation with the well-known Dienerian guide-species N. kummeli Sweet.
In the Lower Triassic sequence of Spiti the first appearance of N. praekummeli sp. nov. marks the base of Ophiceras bed. It is likely that N. kummeli Sweet has evolved from N. praekummeli sp. nov. near the base of Ophiceras bed.

The history of research on the chronostratigraphic status of Otoceros fauna of Himalaya has been traced and the brachiopod, pelecypod and ammonoid biostratigraphy of the classical Otoceras bed of Himalayan sections has been critically reviewed. It is observed that the impact of over-all change in the palaeobiological communities, in the sense of change from Palaeozoic to Mesozoic, is better discernible at the base of Ophiceras bed. This megafaunal observation is supported from the vertical distribution of conodonts. This calls for revision of the traditional view of placing the Permian-Triassic boundary at the base of Otocerus bed.- Discovery of Redlichid Trilobites from the Arenaceous Member of the Tal Formation, Garhwal Syncline, Lesser Himalaya, India

The paper records the first find of identifiable redlichid trilobites, belonging to two genera, from the strata of the Arenaceous Member of the Tal Formation in the Garhwal Syncline. This fossil horizon in the Garhwal Syncline, in the past, has also yielded small shelly fossils. The chronostratigraphic designation of this small shelly fauna in the Qiongzhusian (? Atdabanian) Stage of China now stands corrected with the present discovery. The trilobite genera correspond to the Botomian Stage (1 Tsanglangpuian Stage of China), in the Early Cambrian.- Comment 1: Ediacaran Medusoids from the Krol Formation, Naini Tal Syncline, Lesser Himalaya

Early Triassic sequence of about 30 m thickness is exposed at Lalung (Lilang) in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh. The sequence, traditionally defined by the Otocerus bed at the base and the Keyserlingites bed at the top, is biostratigraphically defined in this paper by eight successive conodont zones, which in the ascending order are: Neogondolella orientalis - N. subcarinata Assemblage Zone, Neospathodus kummeli Zone, Neospathodus dieneri Zone, Neospathodus cristugalli Zone, Neospathodus pakistanensis-Neogondolella nepalensis Assemblage Zone, Neospathodus waageni Zone, Neogondolella elongata Zone and Neospathodus timorensis Zone. These conodont zones are delineated on the basis of data from Lalung, Mud (Muth), Guling (Kuling) and Spiti River sections in the Spiti valley.Keywords

Based on the present detailed field observations on the physiographic setting and the lithological nature of the Pokran Boulder Bed (PBB), the authors conclude that it is a consolidated sedimentary bed, apparently in the nature of a glacial drift and not a tillite (like Talchir Formation of Gondwana Supergroup). The denuded upper surface of bouldery hummocks of the PBB on the ground invariably shows presence of loose boulders. The consolidated horizons lie buried within the hummocks, wherever thicker horizons of PBB are still preserved. The weathered top of the PBB, forming rolling, hummocky topography is reminiscent of continental glaciated areas. It is likely that the PBB represents remnant of the Well-Known global Precambrian (Vendian) Ice Age. It rests directly over the rhyolitic (Malani Rhyolite) basement.The field observations also lead to the conclusion that the thick succession of sandstones of the Jodhpur Group (sometimes referred as 'Jodhpur sandstone') of Marwar Supergroup (MSG) only occasionally overlie the PBB and always with a marked unconformity, such as at Gaphur Khan ki Dhani and elsewhere. Clearly the PBB does not form part of the stratigraphy of Marwar Supergroup.
