A prolific assemblage of foraminifera dominated by vaginulinids and nodosariids recovered from Callovian-Oxfordian sequence exposed in central Kutch, Western India, is correlated with Jurassic foraminiferal assemblages from other localities of Kutch, a few other Indian regions and also from certain regions of the world. The Kutch assemblage has a distinct Tethyan affinity. A comparative study indicates that during Dogger and Malm epochs, Kutch was having sea connections with Central Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Rajasthan, Somalia and Madagascar.
