At the suggestion of Cyril S. Fox of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) he decided to work on a book on Indian stratigraphy. This resulted in the publication of Geology of India and Burma in 1943 and the Introduction to Geology of India in 1944. The first book has gone through 6 editions and has also been translated into Russian.
Western Ghats-Central Indian Volcanic Province (WVP) (age: Late Maastrichtian to Danian) Saurhastra-Kutchh Province (age: ? Maastrichtian [ 9 ] to early Eocene [ 11 ] )
Due to continental drift, the India Plate split from Madagascar and collided with the Eurasian Plate resulting in the formation of the Himalayas.. The earliest phase of tectonic evolution was marked by the cooling and solidification of the upper crust of the earth's surface in the Archaean Era (prior to 2.5 billion years) which is represented by the exposure of gneisses and granites especially ...
This is a list of Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points.Since 1977, Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points (abbreviated GSSPs) are internationally agreed upon reference points on stratigraphic sections of rock which define the lower boundaries of stages on the geologic time scale.
The Northern Indian State Himachal Pradesh is located in the Western Himalaya (Fig. 1). It has a rugged terrain, with elevation ranging from 320m to 6975m. [ 2 ] Rock materials in the region are largely from the Indian craton , [ 3 ] and their ages range from the Paleoproterozoic to the present day. [ 4 ]
Khadg Singh Valdiya (20 March 1937 – 29 September 2020) was an Indian geologist [3] and a former vice chancellor of Kumaon University, internationally recognized for his path-breaking work in the fields of geodynamics and Environmental Science.
The Aravalli Mountain Range is a northeast-southwest trending orogenic belt in the northwest part of India and is part of the Indian Shield that was formed from a series of cratonic collisions. [1] The Aravalli Mountains consist of the Aravalli and Delhi fold belts, and are collectively known as the Aravalli-Delhi orogenic belt.
The stratigraphic succession of the western sub-basin shows virtually complete lithostratigraphic succession from Early Cretaceous to Recent sediments. The western sub-basin portion belonging to West Bengal is characterized by gentle eastward slopes and numerous step faults with small displacements.
