ABSTRACT

Cretaceous strata of Pakistan yielded many significant fossils of terrestrial ecosystems like poripuch (all caudals are procoelous) lithostrotian titanosaurian sauropods, abelisauroids theropods, mesoeucrocodiles, pterosaurs and gymnosperm stem wood. Both marine and non-marine strata well exposed through the Cretaceous, Jurassic-Cretaceous and Cretaceous-Paleogene boundaries found in Pakistan especially in Indus Basin. Indus Basin represents strata from Precambrian to Recent. Here a glimpse of Cretaceous Stratigraphy of Pakistan is being presented.
