Taphonomy of Late Pleistocene micromammalian fauna of Narmada valley, Central India

Fossils from Quaternary fluvial archives: Sources of biostratigraphical, biogeographical and palaeoclimatic evidence

“…At Hathnora, assemblages of vertebrates (including herpetiles and fish), molluscs, ostracods, charophytes and pollen, in association with archaeological material, have been reported (Patnaik, 2000;Patnaik et al, 2009). Freshwater molluscs have also been recovered from the sites at Bhedaghat and Devakachar (Hirdepur Formation), including species of gastropods and bivalves (Kotlia and Joshi, 2011). Several lines of evidence suggest that Southeast Asia was dominated by a mosaic of savannah, open woodland and evergreen forest throughout much of the Pleistocene, leading to suggestions that this region served as a refugium for hominins and other mammal species during glacial periods (Louys and Turner, 2012) Well-dated fossiliferous sequences in Southeast Asia are relatively rare and are predominantly preserved in caves, although the syntheses described here include some data from fluvial deposits.…”

The Great Flood and its Aftermath in Kashmir Valley: Impact, Consequences and Vulnerability Assessment

“…The Kashmir Valley forms a part of Jhelum Basin, and has a fairly well-established drainage system, headed by the Jhelum River (Bhatt et al, 2017). The valley is filled with 1299.972 metres thick Plio-Pleistocene fluvio-glacio-lacustrine sediments which are generally known as the 'Karewas' (Kotlia 1985;Dar et al 2013). The Kashmir valley is affected by the southwest monsoon and extratropical disturbances (Das et al, 2002).…”

A New Species of Fossil <i>Mus</i> (Muridae, Mammalia) from the Late Quaternary Deposits of Narmada Valley, Central India

“…As far as the Indian murids are concerned, a number of researches, e.g. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] have shown that the murids were widespread in the country from the Pliocene onwards.…”
