Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | shelly/skeletal,gray wackestone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |

| Environment: | offshore |
| Geology comments: The Himalayan Lower Triassic thus formed part of a large deeper-neritic basin and the Spiti sediments were deposited on wide stable shelf to provide extensive continuity to the beds | |
