The studies ion Quaternary Geology deals with reconstructing the environmental and ecological history of the most recent past of the earth. The known fossil record of Pleistocene mammals is more nearly complete than that of any other group. Biodiversity, evolutionary changes specially in the terrestrial mammals, contemporary vegetation and palaeocosystems are the major concerns of the quaternary research all over the world. Narmada Valley has been a center of attraction for the researchers for having preserved the continuous history of the sediments with its depositional environments, climatic fluctuations, biohistory and biodiversity. The mammalian fauna from the Narmada and Son river basins are known over one and a half a century dating back to 1833 as earliest reported by Sir Princep.
