Micromammals from the Upper Siwalik subgroup of the Jammu region, Jammu and Kashmir State, India: Some constraints on age

The paper describes small mammals represented by rodents: cf. Mus flynni, c f. Parapelomys robertsi, Golunda kelleri, Golunda sp., Dilatomys pilgrimi n . sp., Millardia sp. indet., Abudhabia cf. A. kabulense, Rhizomyides sivale nsis and insectivores: Soricidae g. et sp. indet. from two microvertebrate- bearing levels in the Upper Siwalik sequence of Jammu. The rodent fauna is strikingly similar to that of Tatrot Formation exposed to the north and eas t of Chandigarh (India). Based on this faunal correlation and the stratigra phic range of Mus flynni, Golunda kelleri, Abudhabia cf. A. kabulense, and Rhizomyides sivalensis and age of 2.5 m.y. has been favoured for the microm ammal yielding levels.
