Abstract

The paper is an announcement of the recent discovery of a small and yet well-preserved skeletal assemblage belonging to nilgai ( Boselaphus tragocamelus) and an equid in Pleistocene alluvial deposits that have also preserved the acidic volcanic ash and Stone Age artefacts at the banks of River Karha near Morgaon in District Pune. Only 15 postcranial elements, a ramus with two lower teeth and an isolated upper tooth comprise the fossil record. The state of preservation reveals interesting clues to its taphonomic history, pointing to the semi-primary context of deposition. Systematic palaeontology and a brief taphonomic history of the assemblage are discussed in the paper.
