Graptolites in the Indian Sub-continent

Nature volume 201, pages 385–386 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

ALTHOUGH geological work has been in progress in India for well over a century, an important lacuna—the absence of graptolites in the sub-continent—had remained unbridged until quite recently when one of us (V. J. G.) made this interesting find. The conviction that this lacuna would be bridged one day was emphasized by the senior author as long ago as 19411 and again successively in 19562, 19623 and 19634.
