They are represented by 6 genera that are grouped into 6 families, 3 superfamilies, and 3 orders belonging to 2 subclasses. Out of these 13 species, 3 species could not be identified at the specific level for want of better-preserved materials and more detailed information. A close study of these fossil assemblages reveals that the Upper Bhuban Formation of Prayer Point, Tuirial road Aizawl has a geological age ranging from Aquitanian to Vindobonian, i.e. Middle to Lower Miocene age (~11 to 23 million years). 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
