A 560 m thick rock succession of Middle Bhuban Formation (Surma Group) exposed between Bawngkawn and Durtlang, Aizawl, Mizoram has been studied for its magnetostratigraphic attributes. A total of 7 normal and 7 reverse magneto-Zones have been delineated in this section. The GPTS correlated ages of this section lie between -21.77 Ma (at the base) to ∼15.16 Ma (at the top) with a total duration of ∼6.6 Ma. The GPTS event C6n occurring at the stratigraphic level between 146 m to 266 m may be considered for basin wide correlation as it is the longest normal event that has been recorded with greater confidence i. e. better alpha- 95. The average sediment accumulation rate (SAR) estimated for this section is 8.48 cm/Ka. Overall the SAR is higher in the lower part of the section with a spike of 26.8 cm/Ka at <21 Ma. The decrease in SAR to 2.1 cm/Ka at around 18 Ma in the upper part of the section may be investigated for possible hiatus.Keywords

A 1355 m thick Bhuban sequence exposed along Tuirial section in the Aizawl district, Mizoram has been studied for magnetostratigraphic and rock magnetic attributes. The study reveals mono-mineral nature of the rocks with magnetite in the range of Stable Single Domain (SSD) showing the most favourable mineralogy to produce authentic (Natural Remanent Magnetization) NRM directions. Using routine demagnetization methods we reveal a total of 7 normal magneto-zones in the studied part of the Tuirial section. Correlation of the observed polarity with GPTS gives ages ~12.5 Ma to ~8 Ma. A notable increase in the rate of sedimentation at ~9.5 Ma (~750 m level in the section) indicates facies change from turbidite like sequence to pro-delta system. Detailed sedimentologic work is under progress to relate the magnetostratigraphy to understand some of the basin evolutionary processes.Keywords

An interesting selachian fish assemblage having stratigraphic and palaeoecological significance is being described from the two intraformational calcareous conglomeratic horizons within the Upper Bhuban unit of Bhuban Formation, Surma Group (Lower to Middle Miocene). The assemblage consists of eighteen species of selachian fishes including two new ones (Carcharhinus bhubanicus and Hemipristis unidenticulata) belonging to thirteen genera and another thirteen forms have been identified up to generic level. It is dominated by the families Carcharhinidae and Lamnidae, and is one of the most diversified Miocene assemblages from the Indian subcontinent. The fish fauna and the associated mega-invertebrates suggest Lower Miocene (Aquitanian - Burdigalian) age for the Upper Bhuban unit of Bhuban Formation. These further suggest that the fish yielding horizons were deposited under a warm shallow marine set-up near to the shoreline in a high-energy environment.Keywords

The present paper records nine species of coralline algae from the Prang Formation of middle-late Eocene age from the Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya. The algae are associated with the larger foraminifera including Nummulites, Alveolina and Discocyclina throughout the succession. The temporal distribution of algal species indicates that seven species are known from the Eocene. Of the remaining two, one ranges from the Palaeocene to Eocene and the other is Palaeocene in age. The coralline algae and larger foraminifers are differentiated into two associations, the lower one indicating inner-ramp environment of high energy and the upper one showing deposition in relatively calm waters of deeper ramp environment.Keywords
