Abstract

Investigation of foraminiferalmicro fauna of a site can provide a lot of information about the age and other aspects of the palaeontology of that region. Different hills of Kutch region are studied separately to reveal the diversity, composition and evolution of species present there. The main hills of interest and studied so far are Jumara, Keera and Jhurio hills. This mini review is focussed to combine all thosestudies into one and present an overview of foraminferal research done so far. An attempt is made to enlist all species found in the region with their composition and evolutionary inferences. The study will provide an insight of the foraminiferal diversity and composition of the whole Kutch region.
