  • Indian Geological Sequences

    Salient Features and Major Events
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Indian Geological Sequences: Salient Features and Major Events focuses on the first ever differentiation of the entire Indian record into a five-tier hierarchical succession of geological sequencesfive giga, 12 mega, 25 1st order, 68 2nd order and over 100 3rd order ones as its basic skeleton. Using the developed grid of sequence timelines, the diverse interdisciplinary geological manifestations on the broad tectonostratigraphic... homogenous supraregion of GTM (Gondwanian Tethyan Margin from Arabia to Australia) have been mutually integrated towards chronicling of events with precision never ever realized earlier. The giga-sequences GS-I to GS-IV comprising eight mega-sequences MS-I to MS-VIII deal with the Precambrian in brief.Within GS-V (¬ 635 ma onward), the MS-IX (¬ 635-444 ma), and MS-XII (¬ 61.6 onward) include orogenies while MS-X (¬ 444-259 ma) and MS-XI (¬ 259-61.6 ma) are dominated by dismemberment tectonics. The prime focus is on the correlation of events across scores of sedimentary basins from outcrop to subsurface, onshore to offshore, marine to non-marine, shallow to deep water, plant to animal, micro- to macrofossils, and Proto-Paleo-Neotethy... to Indian Ocean.Among the major Phanerozoic events time precised are the ¬ 500 ma Acantha Zone mega MFS accretion of the then alien Tethys Himalaya to the Indian margin, and the ¬ 50 ma P8 Zone mega MFS impingement of India on Asia while the important dismemberment events include the ¬ 159 ma late Middle Oxfordian Orientalis Zone Schilli Subzone 1st order MFS initiation of the Indian Ocean which culminated in steps with oceanic separation of Sri Lanka from Antarctica at the ¬ 107 ma early Middle Albian Dentatus Zone mega MFS, ¬ 90 ma 1st order SB initiation of separation of Madagascar so also of Mascaranes basin, Central Indian basin and Wharton basin, separation of Greater Seychelles from India at the ¬ 64.5 ma intra Danian 2nd order Quadratus Zone MFS and ¬ 24 ma Complanata Zone MFS thrusting due south of Greater Himalaya upon Lesser Himalaya.Indian Geological Sequences: Salient Features and Major Events is a valuable reference for researchers and scientists of both academia and exploration industry in the field of Earth Sciences.
