Abstract

Discovery of Linoproductus sp. in the upper part of the Upper Krol Limestone near Nainital indicates Upper Palaeozoic, probably late Carboniferous or Early Permian age not only of the lithostratigraphic unit, but also of the assemblage of stromatolites having distinctive morphology and restricted vertical distribution.
