Microfossils from the Nagrota Formation, Upper Siwalik Subgroup, Jammu Hills

The paper records for the first time a small, but interesting microfossil assemblage from the mudstonc beds, underlying the bentonitized tuff band (2.8±0.56 Ma) of the Nagrota Formation, Upper Siwalik Subgroup, Jammu Hills at two localities - Bada Khetar and Uttarbehani. The assemblage comprising ostracodes, charophyte gyrogonites and angiosperm seeds, indicates an Upper Tatrot (Late Pliocene) age and deposition in shallow alkaline lake(s) at depth ranging from 2 to 6 m.
