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.
