Abstract
Uranium distribution in Vertebrate Fossils from the Siwaliks of NW-Himalaya has been worked out using Fission Track Method. Uranium is found to be uniformly distributed in collophane and ferruginous material of the bone and a sympathetic relationship between uranium and collophane content has been observed. Percolating waters which leached uranium and phosphorus from the granitic matrix (80 to 90%) of the Siwalik sandstones appear to have brought about diagenesis, uranium mineralization and fossilisation of the organic remains in the Siwalik sediments.
