| Abstract |
A thorough taxonomic study was carried out for the first time using high-resolution microscopy from Neogene sections of western Kachchh, India. In the present study, 25 species of benthic foraminifera belonging to 3 classes viz. Globothalamea, Tubothalamea, Nodosariata and 4 orders Rotaliida, Textulariida, Miliolida and Polytmorphinida have been identified from limestone and silty-claystone of Murachbann section belonging to lower Miocene. This taxonomic study provides the distribution of benthic foraminifera species from Murachbann section. The attempt is made to interpret depositional palaeoenvironment based on this distribution of the studied foraminifera. |
