Abstract

Present communication reports the occurrence of Pycnodonte (Phygraea) navaniaensis sp, nov. from the Navania Limestone of the Wadhwan Formation. Presence of the genus Pycnodonte along with Hemiaster is indicative of euhaline waters and low energy conditions at the time of deposition of the Navania Limestone.
