The youngest marine deposits preserved in southern Tibet and disappearance of the Tethyan Ocean

“…These units are succeeded by the Barail Formation (Samanta, 1965(Samanta, , 1968(Samanta, , 1969Singh and Pratap, 1983;Alam et al, 2003;Lokho and Tewari, 2011). The Sylhet Limestone Group yields Nummulites, Assilina and Discocyclina assemblages, which indicate shallow marine deposition similar to that in the lesser Himalaya region.…”

“…South of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, the collision-related final marine sediments outcrop as the lower Eocene Rengging Formation and the upper lower Eocene to Middle Eocene Yinkiong Formation in the Siang window region of Assam-Arakan Basin (Tripathi et al, 1978(Tripathi et al, , 1981Tripathi and Mamgain, 1986;Tripathi et al, 1988;Acharyya, 2007;Acharyya and Saha, 2008). Even younger final marine deposits occur in the Bengal basin, where the Sylhet limestone and overlying Kopili Formation are of Middle to upper Eocene age (Samanta, 1965(Samanta, , 1968(Samanta, , 1969Singh and Pratap, 1983;Alam et al, 2003).…”

Growth rate and life span of Eocene/OligoceneNummulitestests: inferences from Sr/Ca ratio

“…In places, the WLM is overlain by a passage bed yielding Pellatispira crassicloumnata of Priabonian age. The fossil assemblage of the CLMC indicates a Rupelian to Laterbian age (Samanta, 1965; Ray et al ., 1984; Ray, 1987; Samanta et al. , 1990; Sarkar et al ., 1996; Ray and Chaki, 1997).…”
