dc.description.abstractThe Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian to Coniacian) marine sediments of central India prevalently known as 'Bagh Beds,' have been deposited in the E-W extending Narmada Basin. The stratigraphy of these Cenomanian - Coniacian sediments has been reviewed and summarized. The Bagh Beds have been found to consist of three formations: Nimar Sandstone, Nodular Limestone and Corallian Limestone in ascending order. Main emphasis has been given to Nodular Limestone Formation (Turonian), which is the most fossiliferous horizon of the Bagh Beds. Nodular Limestone Formation has more or less alternating bands of varying thickness of nodular limestone and marl. It yielded numerous ammonoid specimens, which have been found to belong to a morphologically highly variable ammoniod taxon Placenticeras mintoi Vredenburg. © 2013 Geological Society of India.
