The Early Cambrian trace fossils Planolites, Skulithos, Psammichnites, Neonereites, Didymaulichnus, Monurnorphichnus, Dirnorphichnus, Diplichnites, Rusophycus and Cruzianu are described from the Kunzum La Formation (Haimanta Group) of the Pin section in Spiti valley. These trace fossils occur well below the body fossil zone reflecting their abundance at two stratigraphic levels. The Precambrian-Cambrian boundary could be well betow the earliest trace fossil horizon. The abundance of trace fossils at these two levels is a universd phenomenon in the Himalaya and indicates two acme zones with proliferation of vermiform organisms in the lower zone and arthropod forms in the upper zone.Keywords

Spiti - Zanskar Basin of Himalaya exposes rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Early Cenozoic. Cambrian trilobites, brachiopods and trace fossils are known from the Kurgiakh area of the basin. The present paper concerns with Early Cambrian trace fossils reported from the same stratigraphic section in which trilobite body fossils are known. The assemblage of trace fossils include: Chondrites sp., Cruziana sp., Rusophycus sp., Phycodes palmatum, sp., Didymaulichnus sp., Protichnites sp., Monomorphicnus monolinearis, Diplichnites sp. associated with scratch marks indicating trilobite movements. The finding of trace fossils far below the definite brachiopod and trilobite body fossil horizons in the Lower Cambrian sequence of Kurgiakh area of Zanskar is of significance.Keywords

Two ichnogenera Cruziana and Rusophycus have been reported from the Bafliaz Formation of western Pir Panjal. These put the Lower Palaeozoic age of this volcanic suite beyond doubt. The correlation of this suite with the Panjal suite of Permo-Triassic age is, therefore, not warranted.Full Text

The redlichid fauna from the Lower Cambrian of northwestern Kashmir is described. In addition to Redlichia noetlingi (Redlich), it includes R. cf. knjazevi Repina and Tungllsella obesa Repina, not recorded from India so far. Inarticulate brachiopods, Botsfordia granulata (Redlich) and? Neobolus are also described from the same zone. The fauna corresponds to Botomian and represents upper middle part of Lower Cambrian.- Bolaspidella from the Cambrian of Kashmir and its Stratigraphic Significance

New species of the trilobite genus Bolaspidella viz., B. himalayensis, B. costalus, B. magamensis and Bolaspidella sp. have been recorded from the top part of the Middle Cambrian of Kashmir. Bolaspidella bearing beds constitute a well marked zone which may be extending into the base of Upper Cambrian. This is the first record of Bolaspidella from Asia and the stratigraphic position of this genus corresponds exactly to that known from North America.- Trace Fossils from the Cambrian of Kashmir and their Stratigraphic Significance

Trace fossil assemblages studied from the known stratigraphic horizons of Cambrian with a view to establishing their ranges in Himalayan succession have indicated that trilobite tracks and trails are stratigraphically significant. These include the ichnogenera Monomorphichnus, Rusophycus and a new genus and species, Kupwaria fusiformis, together with varieties of claw scratchings. As against this, the various species of ichnogenus Phycodes have stratigraphic ranges which do not exactly, correspond to their reported distribution from other parts of the world. A range chart based on associated trilobite fossils has been built for stratigraphically significant ichnofossil assemblages.- Damesellidae from the Cambrian of Kashmir

One species each of the genera Damesella and Blackwelderioides are being described for the first time from India. Damesella shergoldi sp. nov. occurs as an enormous population immediately above the uppermost horizon of Middle Cambrian in Magam section of Kashmir and the Blackwelderioides cf. monkei (Walcott) also occurs at an identical stratigraphic position in the section at Trahagam. Their comparisons are made with taxa reported from other parts of Autralo-Asian Province.- Oryctocephalid Fauna From the Cambrian of Spiti

The oryctocephalid fauna from Middle Cambrian of Spili is described. In addition to Oryctocephalus salteri Reed, it includes Oryctocephalus opiki Shergold and Oryclocephalites cf. sulcatus Shergold, not recorded from India so far. The oryctocephalid fauna characterizes a distinct horizon at the base of Menevian (upper Middle Cambrian) which corresponds to its position in Australia (Templetonian).- Agnostid Fauna from the Middle Cambrian of Kashmir

A new agnostid genus Trilagnostus from Middle Cambrian of Kashmir is described in addition to Pagetia griesbachi and Pagetia sp. from the same level at the Solvan-Menevian boundary. Diplagnostus is also being reported and described in the same succession at the top of Menevian. This form helps in demarcating the Middle - Upper Cambrian boundary in the sequence.Keywords
