(Badam, 1976). More and better preserved material is in fact needed for a specified identification of the fossils collected. Tools of Acheulian \[4.2\] characters—ovates, handaxes, cleavers, scrapers and flakes—were also collected from the fossil-yielding deposits. - [Previous: v1.c20.s1.t3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.4) - [Next: v1.c20.s1.t3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.6) - [Up: v1.c20.s1.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.5) · Pramāṇa
