Abstract

An early Late Cambrian trilobite faunule of fewer than 20 specimens and including Monkaspis sp. cf. M. serrata Mong, ?Blackwelderia sp. and Cyclolorenzella sp. is recorded from the Trahagam Formation near the village of Trahagam in Hundwara Tehsil, Kashmir, India. The faunule occurs in green shales and provides the first unequivocal Late Cambrian date for sediments in Kashmir; Kashmiri fossil faunas previously ascribed Late Cambrian ages by Reed are now considered Middle Cambrian.
