Fossil carbonised wood from Nimmu Leh Ladakh discovered by Ritesh Arya

Fossil carbonised wood from Nimmu Leh Ladakh discovered by Ritesh Arya for the first time from the vertical sandstone beds of formation equivalent to Kasauli Formation (aquitanian age) is a good example to show how the homotaxial formations behaved in the geological time and enjoyed almost similar paleoenvironmental and paleolatitudinal position around 20 million years ago

 

Sequence is very close to Basgo formation and granite batholith intrusion seen in the background close to Indus stutre zone
