| Description |
A 26.5-metre-long core collected from the outer-shelf area off Bombay (India) at 75 m water depth showed ooids and shallow-water benthic foraminifera all along the core. The presence of these well-known indicators of shallow-water environment of deposition shows that sea level had transgressed considerably prior to 10,000 years before present (super(14) C age of the surface sediment). By comparison with global events, we infer that the sea level was at 101.5 m below the present level at about 14,500 years BP. We further observe that this rise occurred with two minor pauses (or minor reversals) at 13,000 and 11,500 years BP
