The Patcham-Chari Formations of Jhurio Hill, Kachchh, have yielded a rich and diverse microfossil assemblage dominated by foraminifers. 95 foraminiferal species are being reported from this section assignable to 47 genera belonging to eighteen super families. The present foraminiferal assemblage suggests a Bathonian-Oxfordian age for the Palcham-Chari Formations of Jhurio Hill and also helps to demarcate the Bathonian/Callovian as well as Callovian/Oxfordian boundaries in this area.
