| Abstract/Notes | Abstract: Middle Proterozoic Gulcheru Quartzite marks the onset of sedimentation, after the Eparchaean unconformity, in the Cuddapah Basin. In the southwestern margin of the basin it is made up dominantly of orthoquartzites. On the basis of lithology, stratigraphic relationship, bedding characteristics, texture and colour of sediments and sedimentary structures, five lithofacies were recognized within Gulcheru Quartzite. The Gulcheru Quartzite, though dominantly of shallow marine origin, shows imprints of other depositional regimes. Detailed interpretation of the facies and study of their field relationships reveal that pink massive quartzite, the lowermost unit of Gulcheru Quartzite, is of fluvio-aeolian origin. Later marine transgression led to the development of a moderate to low energy beach, which evolved with time into a barrier-spit complex. | ||
