“…The Guryul Ravine section and the Spiti Valley, another remnant of the peri-Gondwanan shelf in India (Ghosh et al, 2016), are probably the two best geologically documented Neotethys Ocean PTB sections in India. Geological and paleoredox aspects of the Guryul Ravine and the Spiti sections are well documented (e.g., Murata, 1981;Matsuda, 1981Matsuda, , 1982Matsuda, , 1983Matsuda, , 1984Brookfield et al, 2003Brookfield et al, , 2013Brookfield et al, , 2019Wignall et al, 2005;Algeo et al, 2007;Korte et al, 2010;Tewari et al, 2015;Ghosh et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2017;Huang Y. et al, 2019), resulting in significant advances in the sedimentological and biostratigraphical understanding of these two sections. These Tethyan sedimentary successions in Kashmir have experienced greenschist-facies metamorphism (Herren, 1987;Dèzes, 1999;Algeo et al, 2007).…”
