The Zonal Distribution of the Larger Foraminifera of the Eocene of Western India
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
An extensive collection of Eocene Foraminifera was made during a geological reconnaissance of parts of Western India undertaken on behalf of the Whitehall Petroleum Corporation by Mr. D. Dale Condit and myself. Further specimens have been lent by the Indian Geological Survey. As traced from north to south the region examined includes parts of the Dera Ghazi Khan District in the Punjab; the Loralai District, the Bugti Hills, the Bolan Pass, Kalat and Las Bela States in Baluchistan; the Laki Range and Indus valley in Lower Sind; and Cutch State. The distance from the northernmost area examined to the southernmost is approximately 550 miles. I have already published a brief account of the stratigraphical geology with palaeontological descriptions of the species of Foraminifera encountered (3 to 8). In this paper it is proposed to summarize the results of this investigation and compare briefly the zonal distribution and evolution of the species with that of the European Eocene.
