Their studies have thrown considerable light on our knowledge of vertebrate fossils in general and the evolution of various animals in particular. The fauna of the Pinjor—\*Equus sivalensis\*, \*Rhinoceros sivalensis\*, \*Rhinoceros palaeindicus\*, \*Chilotherium intermedium\*, \*Bubalus\*, \*Bos\*, \*Hemibos\*, \*Leptobos\*, \*Bison\*, \*Cervus\*, \*Camelus\*, \*Archidiskodon planifrons\*, \*Stegodon insignis-ganesa\*, \*Geoclemys sivalensis\*, \*Crocodylus biporcatus\*, \*Crocodylus palaeindicus\*, \*Gavialis browni\*, etc.—are significant in that they show a mixture of the Old and New World elements and also indicate the probable routes of migration to and from the Indian subcontinent. - [Previous: v1.c20.s1.t1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t1.2) - [Next: v1.c20.s1.t1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t1.4) - [Up: v1.c20.s1.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t1.3) · Pramāṇa
