Recent developments in the studies of the Lameta Formation and Bagh Group, Central and Western India
Abstract
The Lameta Formation and Bagh Group of central and western India have diversified interest of both sedimentologists and palaeontologists because these rocks manifest the evidences of temporal changes in climatic faunal, floral and sea level conditions. The present paper provides a brief idea of work carried out on various aspects of these units with a highlight of ongoing researches in recent years.
