Planolites beverleyensis (Billings) Pemberton and Frey is being reported from the Bhaduka Limestone. Wadhwan Formation (Cretaceous) of Kathiawar, Gujarat, wherefrom only one trace fossil. viz., Feddenichnus feddeni Chiplonkar and Borkar was reported. Bryozoa from the Bhaduka Limestone ascribe a palaeoenvironment suitable to suspension feeders. However. Planolites along with Feddenichnus suggests palaeoenvironment congenial to infaunal deposit feeders.
