Two sections, namely Kanthro and Moginand exposing Upper Siwalik rocks near village Saketi (H.P., India) have yielded a diverse fossil assemblage and evidence for pedogenic modifications. Palaeoecological reconstruction indicates the presence of atleast four palaeocommunities (pond, pondbank, bushland and grassland). Studies concerning taphonomy reveals that there was a gradual accumulation of micro and megafossil remains in shallow seasonal ponds of broad flood plains. It is also noticed that the concentration of some small mammal remains were due to biogenic processes.
