| Panandhro Mine, HD Pit | Rage J.-C., Bajpai S., et al (2003) | Panandhro | "..snake bearing silty shales form part of the Panandhro Formation of Saraswati & Banerjee (1984) or its broadly correlatable unit designated as Naredi Formation by Biswas (1992) (pg. 696)." Our previous age inference for these beds (Bajpai and Thewissen, 2002) was based on the traditional inclusion of them in the Naredi Formation, which followed Biswas (1992). Biswas (1992) considered the Naredi Formation to range from late Paleocene to early Eocene in age. While this age estimate may be | "shale" | 47.8 - 41.3 Ma Eocene |
| Panandhro Mine, Channel Pit | Rage J.-C., Bajpai S., et al (2003) | Panandhro | "..snake bearing silty shales form part of the Panandhro Formation of Saraswati & Banerjee (1984) or its broadly correlatable unit designated as Naredi Formation by Biswas (1992) (pg. 696)." | "shale" | 56 - 47.8 Ma Eocene |
