Profile Details

My research work investigates the emergence of macroscopic multicellular complex eukaryotic life of the Cryogenian, Ediacaran and Cambrian Period. Studies incorporate to understand the affinity, phylogeny, ichnology, taphonomic bias and sedimentary depositional environment of enigmatic life forms representing the very first metazoans and metaphytes, encompasses earliest complex biosphere. Presently, I am engaged with unique Ediacaran-Cambrian succession of peninsular India i.e. the Marwar Supergroup and promising Croyogenian-Ediacaran succession of Bhander Group, Vindhyan Supergroup, India along with classical Ediacaran Lantian biota of South China.
