...K. Prasanna; Vivesh V. Kapur Abstract The carbonaceous shale of the Miocene (late Burdigalian) Quilon Formation (Kerala Basin, southwest India) were collected and processed to retrieve the microfaunal component. In the present study, the oxygen isotope analysis of the growth bands of the recovered...

...A. D. Singh Abstract Praeorbulina glomerosa (Blow), Praeorbulina sican a (de Stefani), Globigerinoides diminutus Bolli are recorded for the first time from the Quilon Formation in a subsurface section at Quilon. These planktic foraminifera are considered as diagnostic forms of the Early-Middle...

.... The entire Cenozoic sequence is designated as the Malabar Supergroup comprising the Vembanad Formation (Quaternary-Holocene) and the Warkalli Group (Tertiary) separated by an unconformity marked by laterite. The Warkalli Group comprises the Ambalapuzha, the Quilon and the Mayyanad Formations from top...

... - ' Travancore Group'. It may be added here, the Vaikom Formation underlying the Quilon Formation may also be included in this group, in view of its interrelationship with the Quilon Formation. This will avoid introducing new terms' Mayyanad Formation' and' Ambalapuzha Formation '.At the same time...

... of Kerala (Fig. 1) comprises marine fossiliferous limestone of the Quilon Formation, overlain by fluviatile and deltaic arenaceous sediments with clay and lignitic beds, of the WarkaJli Formation (Paulose and Narayanaswamy, 1968), and is underlain by another thick sequence of terrigenous fluviatile...

... to be of Early to Middle Miocene age and by Paulose and Narayanaswamy (1968). Recent investigation of subsurface sediments by Raha et al (1983) pointed out that the calcareous Quilon Formation occurs as a wedge in between the two sedimentary 'sequences, mainly of continental characters. Raha and Rajendran (1982...

... introduction of new stratigraphical terms. Latest observations by the authors indicate that the age of the Quilon Forma- tion vis-a-vis the Tertiary sediments ranges down to Late Eocene-Oligocene period (Raha and Rajendran-some Additional Planktonic Foraminifera from the Quilon Formation of Kerala, Xth Ind...

...V. D. Borkar; Kantimati G. Kulkarni; S. Bhattacharjee-Kapoor Abstract An interesting bivalve fossil obtained from the Claystone Member of the Chhasra Formation (Burdigalian), Kachchh District, India was found conspecific with Anadara gourae Dey (Arcidae, Anadarinae) from the Quilon Beds...

... sedimentation rate and deposition in the inner shelf environment. Present communication describes the occurrence of bryozoans for the first time from Quilon limestone facies belonging to the Quilon Formation. Besides bryozoans the SW Indian coast is rich in invertebrates such as foraminifers, gastropods...

... study are from three locations on the western margin of India. These are Kutch and Saurashtra in Gujarat and Quilon in Kerala (Fig. 1). The samples of Kutch are from the Coral Limestone of Maniyara Fort Formation and Chhasra Member of Vinjhan Shale. The Coral Limestone is referred to Rupelian...

... under relatively stable, oscillating shelf conditions. Thrivikramji and Ghosh (1981) are of the opinion that Quilon limestone at Padappakara and Edavai was deposited in a quiet inner-shelf environment. Menon (1967) reported the occurrence of framboidal pyrite and suggested its formation in early...
