“…The greenish-grey silty shale of the lower part of the Shiala succession has yielded well-preserved chitinozoans, melanosclerites, and acritarchs, which suggest Middle to Late Ordovician age whereas, based on calcareous algae, the upper age limit extends into the Middle Silurian. Hence, the Ordovician–Silurian boundary lies within the Shiala Formation (Sinha et al, 1998, 2011; Sinha and Trampisch, 2013; Sinha and Verniers, 2016). On the other hand, Khanna et al (1985) and Bhargava (2008, 2011) assigned a Late Ordovician age to the Yong limestone and placed the Ordovician-Silurian boundary within the Yong Limestone Formation.…”
