A few ¹⁴C dates on fresh-water molluscan shells collected from these gravels indicate that the aggradational phase of the Godavari valley range in age between 40000 to 15000 years B.P. - [Previous: v2.c34.293](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.293) - [Next: v2.c34.295](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.295) - [Up: v2.c34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34) ## Cites (3) - [Apegaon](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.apegaon) - [Belpandhari](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.belpandhari) - [Kalegaon](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kalegaon) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.294](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.294) · Pramāṇa
