Abstract
The sediments include glacial outwash plain, glacio-lacustrine delta and glacial lake deposits. Glaciers were probably of a piedmont type that existed towards the south and southwest of the basin. Melt water season seems to have dominated over winter season. Fluctuation in the ratio of melting controlled by short lived temperature variation resulted in the deposition of number of complete and incomplete sequences with draped lamination and ripple-drift cross lamination between two winter clay layers. The Palaeozoic sea which existed to the north of the basin was connected to the main basin at a late stage through a channel cut by glacier.
