“…The Limestone Lithofacies Association containing abundant Nummulites represents deposition during sea level rise (transgression), [40] [35] [41]. The limestone, varying from wackestone to packstone, is impure, containing sand and silt, which implies that during deposition the clastic supply from land was drastically reduced or became negligible preventing salinity dilution and inducing limestone sedimentation [41] [38] [42]. Wackestones were deposited in the lower shoreface to inner neritic conditions whereas, packstones in upper shoreface sedimentation.…”

The fossiliferous middle Eocene deposits of Sylhet Limestone of Mikir Hills have yielded vertebrate and invertebrate faunas. The fossil assemblages recorded in this contribution consist of shark, ray, crocodile, conical tooth, broken fragments and echinoderm spines. Ray and crocodile tooth are reporting for the first time from the Mikir Hills. Paleoenvironmental analysis based on the fossil fish assemblage in association with invertebrate (foraminifera) remains and sedimentogical observations suggest a shallow marine environment ranging from open marine, inner neritic to more proximal coastal settings. Also, the presence of common marine elements (similar faunas) from Kutch,
