Abstract
In this paper, an unified regional foraminiferal biostratigraphic zonation scheme for the Albian to Burdigalian sequence of the Cauvery Basin is presented. In all twenty-six zones and a number of sub-zones are delineated. Their typical sections, geographic extensions, important foraminifera and geologic age are described in detail. A number of faunal datum lines are also recognised. This type of zonation will serve as the basis of reference for the stratigraphic section, outcrop or sub-crop, of the entire Cauvery Basin as well as other sedimentary basins of India in terms of its precise and relative time-stratigraphic level.
