“…The Tapar locality was initially thought by Bhandari et al [ 1 ] to date to about 16 Ma on the basis of inferred correlation with the Khari Nadi Formation. The correlation was problematic, as the type area of the Khari Nadi Formation is in western Kutch whereas the Tapar (and nearby Pasuda) beds are in central Kutch, and the central and western deposits are discontinuous.…”

“…Recent fieldwork in the Kutch (= Kachchh) district in the state of Gujarat, western India has expanded our knowledge of the Miocene mammalian faunas of the region [ 1 , 2 ]. Vertebrate fossil remains recovered from the Pasuda and Tapar localities in the Bachau Taluka area of central Kutch Figs 1 – 3 ) during expeditions in 2011 and 2012 were described by Bhandari et al [ 2 ].…”

“…The Tapar beds of the Kutch Basin in western India, known for their rich vertebrate fauna, consist of medium- to coarse-grained sandstones, siltstones, and mudstones with intermittent conglomerate beds (Fig. 1.3) and have been considered to form part of the Khari Nadi Formation in the past (Bhandari et al, 2010, 2015, 2018; Patnaik et al, 2014). However, this is problematic because the Tapar beds are lithologically different from the Khari Nadi Formation.…”

“…South Asian deinotheres are known largely from isolated teeth in lower to upper Miocene deposits in the Siwalik Group of Indo-Pakistan, the Manchars of Sind in eastern Pakistan, the Gaj Series in the Bugti Hills of western Pakistan, the Dharmsala Group of northern India, Kutch and Perim (Piram) Island in western India, and in the Dang Valley in Nepal (Falconer, 1845, 1868; Lydekker, 1876, 1880; Pilgrim, 1912, 1917; Forster-Cooper, 1922; Palmer, 1924; Sahni and Tripathi, 1957; Dehm, 1963; Khan et al, 1971; Sahni and Mishra, 1975; West et al, 1978; Barry et al, 1982; Sahni and Gupta, 1982; Raza et al, 1984; Vasishat, 1985; Tiwari et al, 2006; Bhandari et al, 2010; Sankhyan and Sharma, 2014; Kapur et al, 2019). The taxonomic validity of the large species, Deinotherium indicum from the Tortonian of Perim Island in the Gulf of Cambay and Haritalyangar in the Siwalik Hills, is generally accepted.…”

“…Subsequent to the collision, especially during the Miocene, there were many instances of movement of mammals from northern Asia and the Afro-Arabian regions (African and Eurasian faunal elements). Fossil deposits from Kutch, West India, suggest faunal exchange between Afro-Arabian regions and the Indian subcontinent during early Miocene (Bhandari et al 2010). Others have suggested a mixture of Southern-Russian and African forms in the Indian subcontinent.…”
