Preliminary taphonomical studies of some Pleistocene fauna from the Central Narmada Valley, Madhya Pradesh, India

Abstract

Preliminary taphonomical studies carried out on a Pleistocene faunal assemblages from the Central Narmada Valley, Madhya Pradesh, India reveals that the assemblage has undergone hydrodynamic sorting resulting in the transportation of the fossils. Also there has been a delayed burial of the bones. Field sedimentological evidence supports the occurrence of the assemblage in channel deposits under the influence of moderate currents. © 1986.
