A well preserved and diversified trace fossil assemblage has been identified from the Middle Bhuban unit of the Bhuban Formation, Surma Group (Lower to Middle Miocene) exposed along the Bawngkawn-Durtlang road section, Aizawl, Mizoram. A 615 meter thick succession comprising sandstone, siltstone, shale, mudstone and their admixtures in various proportions is exposed along this section. Trace fossils mostly occurred in fine to medium grained sandstone. These are ethologically diverse and represent predominantly infaunal structures of both suspension and deposit feeders. A total of 30 ichnospecies belonging to 19 ichnogenera have been identified from the collection. These are Arenicolites carbonarius, A. tenuis, A. helixus isp. nov., Conichnus conicus, Didymaulichnus Iyelli, Diplocraterion helmerseni,Gordia marina, Gyrolithes isp.,Katbergia isp, Laevicyclus mongraensis, Lanicoidichna metulata. Lockeia siliquaria, Monomorphichnus bilinearis, Ophiomorpha irregulaire, O. nodosa. Palaeophycus annulatus, P. tubularis, P. heberti, P. striatus, Planolites beverleyensis, Polykladichnus irregularis, Psilonichnus Iutimuratus. P. upsilon, Skolithos linearis, S. verticalis. Teichichnus flexuosus, T. rectus. Thalassionoides horizontalis, T. paradoxicus, T. suevicus, and a large complex burrow system. Vertical burrows of Arenicolites, Gyrolithes, Psiloniclmus, Skolithos and Ophiomorpha are infaunal colonization of the suspension feeders under high energy and shifting substrate conditions. Horizontal burrows like Planolites. Palaeophycus. Teichichnus and ThaIassinoides are the infaunal deposit feeder structures, which usually live at sediment-sediment interface in low to moderate energy conditions. The behavioural nature and distribution pattern of the ichnofossils as well as sedimentological attributes suggests that Middle Bhuban succession was deposited under fluctuating energy conditions in foreshore to shorefacefoffshore zones of shallow marine environment.Keywords

The occurrence of Glossifungites ichnofacies from the Vinjhanian stage exposed near Vinjhan in Kutch have confirmed its development of the firm but unlithified substrates possibly intertidal to subtidal in nature where the semi consolidated substrate provided resistance to erosion and supported three generations of borings by different organisms. The filling of the borings with gypsum and development of iron-oxide stains on them indicate a major regressive phase of the Vinjhanian stage and diagenetic effects due to chemical variations in the depositional system.Keywords

Middle Jurassic rocks of the Habo Dome consist of well-preserved abundant trace fossil genera. These are described from the black limestone of Jhuno Formation and overlying thick classic sequence which is capped by thin bands of oolitic limestone of Jumara Formation. Total 30 ichnospecies of 23 ichnogenera are identified and their preservational aspects, ecological observations, producers and behavioural aspects are discussed. The trace fossils are found in subtidal sequences i.e. sandstone-siltstone-shale partings, thick, massive and cross-Bedded sandstones and in shelf sequences i.e. black limestone which consists of abundant Chondrites species with resting traces (Lockeia). The clastic sequence exhibits poorly sorted and intensely bioturbated cross-bedded sandstone, ripple-marked ferruginous sandstone and laminated shale-siltstone lithofacies which consist of three dimensional buiTow systems of Ophiomorpha, Thalassinoides and Spongeliomorpha, feeding burrows (Rhizocoralhum, Chondrites, Halymenidium, Gordia, Rutichnus, Planobtes) and crawling traces (Scolicia, Gyrochorte) Massive sandstone facies is moderately bioturbated while shale, conglomerate, shell bed and oolitic limestone lithofacies are poorly bioturbated (Thalassinoides). Wave and current energy, substrate consistency, food supply and bathymetry may have influenced the distribution of trace fossils m the shallow marine environments of the Middle Jurassic rocks of the Habo Dome.Keywords

Sediments of Manaveli Formation (Palaeocene) are studied from the Thondaimanattam quarry section and Manaveli section of the Pondicherry area, which comprises of bioturbated arenaceous limestone-shale and shaly-sandstone sequences respectively. These sediments consist of high density and low diversity trace fossil genera which includes Lanicodichnus, Ophiomorpha, Planolites, Palaeophycus, Skolithos, Thalassinoides, and Polychaetes tubes. The abundance of horizontal structures of the Thondaimanattam quarry section indicate low to moderate wave and current energy in fully marine subtidal environments while the presences of vertical structures of the Manaveli section indicate moderate to high wave and current energy in the marginal marine environment of deposition for the Palaeocene sediments of the Pondicherry area.Keywords

Dhosa Oolite Member of the Jumara Formation comprises alternating bands of oolitic limestones and shales, exposed in Jhura dome of Mainland Kachchh, Western India. This sequence is highly bioturbated and exhibits a moderate diversity and behaviourally complex assemblage of ichnospecies. The rhythmically bedded sequence shows three different levels of preservation of traces. Epichnial tiering consists of moderately bioturbated oolitic limestone exhibiting horizontal or low-angle protrusive/retrusive biogenic laminae, commonly dominated by feeding structures like Rhizocorallium jenense, R. irregulare, Zoophycos brianteus and Zoophycos isp. The endichnial structures within the oolitic limestone can be separated into two different preservational trace fossil suites. The endichnial shallow suites consist chiefly of deposit feeders like Chondrites intricatus, C. targionii, Planolites beverleyensis, Taenidium cameronensis, Thalassinoides isp., Z. brianteus, Z. cf circinnatus and Zoophycos isp. and few suspension feeder forms like Palaeophycus tubularis; while endichnial deep suites consist of Chondrites intricatus, Skolithos linearis and Zoophycos isp. Hypichnial structures consists abundant, cylindrical, branched, horizontal, large-sized three dimensional feeding burrows of Thalassinoides isp. and somewhat irregular, obtuse angle ramification burrows of Phycodes isp., which are attached to the lower surface of the casting medium. The trace fossil association indicates Cruziana ichnofacies and abundance of Zoophycus species below the fair weather wave base level is largely a preservational artifact. The preservational processes of the trace fossils indicate soft substrate and diversity and their abundance reflects the other palaeoecological parameters of the open shallow marine environments.Keywords
