Lower Siwalik ('Chinji') mammal fauna

Mammals

Part of the celebrated Siwalik mammal fauna — river-laid assemblages of elephants, rhinos, horses, giraffes and apes shed off the rising Himalaya, and one of the world’s richest records of Neogene land mammals.

A broad fossil group rather than a single taxon — the units below record it among their fauna or flora.
