Abstract

The tissue grade colonial eucaryote Horodyskia Yochelson and Fedonkin and wrinkle structures including Kenneyia ripples and polygonal patterned structures representing microbial mats associated with Ediacaran fossils are recorded from siltstone-shale intercalation of the Kauriyala Formation, Krol Group, exposed about 300 m southeast of Chairkhola (lat. 29°42'35": 10ng.78°58'10") in the Garhwai Synche, Pauri Garhwal district, Uttaranchal (Fig.1).
