Tripathy, 1967, collected \*Bos namadicus\*, \*Bubalus palaeindicus\*, \*Equus namadicus\*, \*Hexaprotodon namadicus\*, \*Cervus\* sp., \*Palaeoloxodon namadicus\*, \*Stegodon insignis\* and \*Crocodylus\* from the Godavari and its tributaries, the PRAVARA and Mula. Subsequently Sankalia, 1964, Joshi \*et al.\*, 1966, Rajaguru, 1968-9, and the author, 1973, discovered more fossils from various localities in association with Lower and Middle Palaeolithic \[4.2, 3\] tools. These studies made some significant additions to the faunal list, those of \*Elephas hysudricus\*, \*Bubalus bubalis\*, \*Elephas maximus\* and \*Cervus duvauceli\*. - [Previous: v1.c20.s1.t3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.6) - [Next: v1.c20.s1.t3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.8) - [Up: v1.c20.s1.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3) ## Cites (1) - [Pravara](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.pravara) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s1.t3.7) · Pramāṇa
