MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF THE UPPER SIVALIKS NEAR PINJOR, INDIA
A magnetostratigraphic study on four sections near Pinjor showed that the Tatrot stage falls in the Gauss magnetic epoch and the Pinjor corresponds to most of the Matuyama epoch. A significant faunal change, already observed by other authors in Pakistan, marks the Tatrot-Pinjor boundary and approxi...

| description |
A magnetostratigraphic study on four sections near Pinjor showed that the Tatrot stage falls in the Gauss magnetic epoch and the Pinjor corresponds to most of the Matuyama epoch. A significant faunal change, already observed by other authors in Pakistan, marks the Tatrot-Pinjor boundary and approximately coincides with the Gauss-Matuyama transition. Sedimentation becomes entirely conglomeratic in a positive episode tentatively interpreted as Jaramillo. The time interval represented by this event witnessed a deep climatic change in Europa and an extensive faunal turnover in all Eurasia, and seems also to correspond to the onset of a strong tectonic activity in the Himalayan belt.
