Textural Parameters, Discriminant Analysis and Depositional Environments of the Tcri sands, Southern Tamil Nadu
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Results of analysis of size data by frequency curves and multi-group discriminat analysis (MGDA) indicate that inland Teri Deposits (ITDs) are very much similar to colluvium, formed by mass-wasting and fluvial processes, whereas Coastal Teri Deposits (CTDs) Very likely originated in mixed environments i.e., beach and dune. further, it is proposed that the ancestral sediments of present day CTDs would have originated from the vast reservoir of shelf sand that remained subaerially exposed during the low sea leval stands which coincided with Late Pleistocene glaciation.
