Induan Stage
the bottom stage of the Lower Triassic. It was identified by L. D. Kiparisova and Iu. N. Popov (USSR) in 1956. In a typical cross section [the Ind River in the Solianoi (Salt) Range] it is composed of sandstone on the bottom and limestone and marl on top. The Induan stage is divided into two zones: Otoceras and Gyronites. Deposits of the Induan stage are extensively developed in Eurasia and also in North America, Africa, and Australia. The term is used primarily by Soviet geologists. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
