Field photographs. a Fossil-bearing sandstone (facies 5A) showing gastropod (G) and bivalve shells (B) on sandstone bedding plane, near Akhara. Length of pen is 14.5 cm. b Ostrea shells in facies 5A, occurring near the Bagh–Akhara road. Diameter of coin is 2.5 cm. c Symmetrical flat-topped wave ripples with small-scale ladder-back ripples in facies 5A, preserved near Akhara. Length of pen is 14.5 cm. d Thalassinoides–Ophiomorpha-bearing thinly-laminated sandstone–mudstone (facies 5B) showing well-preserved vertical burrows (arrows). The section is exposed near Sitapuri. Length of hammer is 30.5 cm. e Wave-ripple-bearing sandstone (facies 5C) showing symmetrical wave ripples with bifurcating crests (arrows), exposed in the Dam section. Length of pen is 14.5 cm. f Massive mudstone (facies 5D) overlain by white-coloured Nodular Limestone Formation, north of Sitapuri. The contact is marked by dashed yellow line. Man for scale is 170 cm tall
