Krystyn, L., Horacek, M., Brandner, R., and Bhat, G.M. 2019. News from the Permian-Triassic Guryul Ravine section (Kashmir, India): a fault causing biostratigraphic correlation problems and remarks on the Dienerian conodont UAZs Albertiana, vol. 45, 1–4.

Abstract– Guryul Ravine (Kashmir, India) is unique in that it is the only ammonoid bearing expanded and complete Permian-Triassic boundary section along the entire southern Tethys margin. As such it may be important to note that during a field campaign in 2017 we identified a fault within the Griesbachian part of the section. Although it can be detected in aerial photographs (if searched for) it is quite difficult to be seen in the field. As this structure has not been described in previous publications we assume that it has been overlooked and thus might account for some problems in stratigraphic correlation between previous studies. Also, in a recently published study about Guryul Ravine, we identified some errors that we want to bring to attention.
