... from the Gaj Formation of Saurashtra Basin, Gujarat. The sediments of this formation are exposed around Lakhanka-Mithi Virdi villages in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat and considered of early to middle Miocene in age. This is the first plant fossil record from the region of this age. The described...

... of the petrological study carried out on the lignites of the Saurashtra basin. For this purpose samples were collected from lower and upper lignite seams from the Surkha lignite mine of Bhavnagar, Saurashtra. These samples were subjected to detailed petrographic analysis (both maceral and microlithotype). The study...

...P. Kundal; Milind P. Kundal; S. N. Mude Abstract: The Cenozoic and Quaternary sediments of Saurashtra basin encompass signatures of sea level fluctuations, environments of deposition and presence of hydrocarbons. These sediments are divided into seven formations that in order of superposition...

... frontier areas—e.g., in the west African continental margins, the Atlantic margin of northwest Europe, and a number of Indian basins, both offshore and on land. Saurashtra Peninsula in the western part of India (Figure 1), with thick Mesozoic sediments overlain by thick basalt of the Deccan Trap extruded...

...M. Aslam Abstract A provenance study was conducted on the Mesozoic rocks of Saurashtra basin, Gujarat, in which grain size, mineralogy and petrographical features of sandstones were integrated to arrive at an consistent interpretation. Textural parameters suggest progressive variation in that mean...

...M. Aslam Abstract The Early Cretaceous Ranipat Formation of Saurashtra basin is divisible into three distinct lithofacies assemblages: 1) crossbedded sandstone facies assemblage characterised by coatse to medium-grained, planar and trough crossbedded sandstone with occasional thin layers of silty...

... laterally along the length of the basin in the direction of paleoflow and paleoslope from northeast to southwest. It is suggested that the development and infilling of the Early Cretaceous Saurashtra failed rift, including subsequent eruption of Deccan basalt, coincided with the pericratonic rifting...

This study is conducted in the Kutch-Saurashtra Basin, located at the western continental margin of the Indian subcontinent wherein, the Deccan basalt, with a thickness range of 200–2500 m, overlies Mesozoic sediments. The Jurassic...

... in these lignites though there is no definite trend of inertinite distribution in space and time. Bhavnagar lower seam of the Saurashtra basin, Gujarat (BHL-6 band) and Gurha lignite seam of the Bikaner-Nagaur basin, Rajasthan (GU-8 band) recorded the highest level of charcoal to the tune of 25% (mmf basis) while...

A homoclinal ramp model is suggested for the shallow shelf carbonate deposition. The suggested carbonate...
