Article
The sedimentary sequence of the Ninama Basin is associated with the latest phase of the continental Deccan volcanism of the Indian peninsula. It occurs as inter-, intratrappeans with a 39-m thick sequence comprising Sukhbhadar Formation and Ninama Limestone. The investigation aims to reconstruct its depositional setting based on the lithofacies and...
Article
The Cretaceous-Palaeogene intertrappean deposits of the Deccan Volcanic Province of India comprise vertebrate, invertebrate and plant fossils of the dominantly continental realm. A 3–4 m thick shaly-sandstone lacustrine intertrappean sequence of Early Palaeogene (Palaeocene-Early Eocene) Bamanbor Formation, Chotila Basin (Saurashtra province, Gujar...
Article
The periphery of the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) of India comprises sedimentary succession deposited during the waning phase of volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary which preserves the continental biota. The Saurashtra Peninsula, a part of the Saurashtra-Kachchh sub-province, exposes thick intertrappean sedimentary successions, sys...
