Sedimentary rocks sandwiched between two successive lava flows in Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) are known as Deccan intertrappean rocks. Fossils of both plants and invertebrates of uppermost Cretaceous to lowermost Palaeocene are present in some of these intertrappean rocks like that in the village Barga. Among the invertebrate fossils, gastropods dominate and because of their benthic nature, they helped a lot to decipher the palaeoenvironment. Gastropod Stenothyra has not yet been reported from any of the Deccan intertrappean. The present work records the presence of the gastropod Stenothyra for the first time from Barga Deccan intertrappean. Its occurrence points to prevalence of brackish water riverine environment at that time in the study area.
