Angadippuram Laterite is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument [1] [2] [3] in Angadippuram town in Malappuram district in the southern Indian state of Kerala, India.The special significance of Angadippuram to laterites is that it was here that Dr. Francis Buchanan-Hamilton, a professional surgeon, gave the first account of this rock type, in his report of 1807, as "indurated clay", ideally ...

Mehrangarh Fort section in Jodhpur exposes the best Jodhpur Malani Suite contact. This erosional contact is between the underlying youngest Igneous suite of rocks of Precambrian age and overlying oldest sedimentary sequence of late Proterozoic to Eocene age. [2] Its geological significance led to it being declared a National Geological Monument ...
The grains best matched a group of sedimentary rocks known as Old Red Sandstone found in the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, which differed completely from stones found in Wales ...
The sedimentary thickness of the Cudappa basin is of the order of 12 km (7.5 mi) with volcanic sequences in the form of sills and dykes. A prominent Eparchaean Unconformity of the formation resting on the Archaean peninsular gneissic complex is noted. Rocks of Cuddapah Supergroup including Kurnool Group are the prominent feature of the basin. [15]
The oldest rocks visible in Devils Tower National Monument were laid down in a shallow sea during the Triassic. [citation needed] This dark red sandstone and maroon siltstone, interbedded with shale, can be seen along the Belle Fourche River. Oxidation of iron minerals causes the redness of the rocks. This rock layer is known as the Spearfish ...
Tirupati Eparchaean Unconformity, a notified National Geo-heritage Monument [1] [2] [3] is a major discontinuity of stratigraphic significance that represents a period of remarkable serenity in the geological history of the Earth i.e. sudden changes and discontinuity in the rock layers in Earth's crust.
The earliest rock was a dark coloured amphibolite which was converted into grey biotite gneiss during migmatization. The grey biotite gneiss during migmatization was first intruded by grey porphyritic granite and later by pink granites. Pegamatities of several generations have traversed all these rocks.
