Biostratigraphic study is important to learn about the stratigraphic record which mainly focuses on determining the relative ages of rock strata by studying variety of fossil assemblages within them in order to understand paleo-environment conditions. The Planktonic foraminifera of Sohnari Member (Laki Formation) in Jhimpir Area, Southern Indus Basin, Sindh Pakistan, is described and illustrated on the basis of Planktonic zonation. The main objective of this research work is to collect data and rock samples systematically from the study area, to identify the Stratigraphy of Jhimpir area, to collect fossil content for the biostratigraphic age determination of Laki Formation and systematic paleontogical study of Laki Formation. Shale in Jhimpir having a Spinose species fauna of Globogerina is considered to be of upper Eocene(Ypresian) age and presence of Morozovella and Acarinina species (Latelian) confirm the age of Sohnari Member as Ypresian to Lutetion. |
