CONODONTS FROM THE LOWER TRIASSIC SEQUENCE OF CENTRAL DOLPO, NEPAL

Abstract

In the present paper, the conodont fauna from three detailed sections surveyed in the Lower Triassic sequence of Central Dolpo, Nepal (Tarap-Atali area) is illustrated. Combining faunas from the three sections, it was possible to recognize a succession of faunal events that covers most of the Scythian and the Lower Anisian. In the whole, 11 faunas have been recognized and discussed.
