The Neogene Siwalik deposits have long been recognised for their rich terrestrial fossil record, yet their freshwater ichthyofauna remains virtually unknown.

In this study, we report the first fossil record of freshwater fish otoliths from the Upper Siwalik Pliocene deposits of Mohand, Saharanpur distric...

The Listriodontinae flourished for about 10 million years, reached their maximum diversit...
