Part A, Introduction, Complete Volume

“…This occurs in blocks of allochthonous wildflysch containing phylloceratids and lytoceratids of Liassic age and in the tectonic klippen of the Kiogars, which consist of Calpionella limestone of Tithonian age. The greater part of the Himalayan Tethys, however, was probably occupied by shallow seas, as indicated by the wide distribution, from the western Himalayas to southern Tibet, of the Spiti Shale and of sandy and marly shales in northwestern Pakistan, which contain a rich ammonite fauna of Late Jurassic age (UHLIG, 1903(UHLIG, -1910FATMI, 1972). The Tithonian fauna is especially rich: Upper Tithonian--eontains Carongoceras, Micracanthoceras, Aulacosphinctes, Protacanthodiscus, Blanfordiceras, Kossmatia, Himalayites, and in addition H aplophylloceras stl'igile (BLANFORD) and Paraboliceras occur as far as the Malayomaorican geosyncline.…”
