Description The foraminiferal species described from the Miocene sequence exposed at the village Vinjhan of Kachchh are widely distributed in the comparable successions of the Middle East and Greece. They can be used for inter-regional correlation in the absence of planktonic species. However, these species as well as other associated index forms need to be studied in different sections of Kachchh for their true stratigraphic ranges. The existing knowledge on the specific composition of foraminifera is not sufficient to provide good stratigraphic correlation with well-studied sequences of the Mediterranean, and major geological events influencing the sedimentary facies in much of the Tethys
