The Damodar basin of eastern India preserves both Lower and Upper Gondwana sediments. It was thought earlier that deposition of Panchet Formation ot Upper Gondwana took place in a tectonitally undisturbed condition. However present study reveals that some beds of Panchet Formation were seismically disturbed as they contain several horizons of soft sediment deformation structures like deformed cross beds, convolute laminae, mud dykes flame structures, pseudonodules chaotic bedding and drifted sediment blocks. The preservation of these penecontemporaneous deformation structures clearly suggests that earthquakes were responsible for the deformation and warrants further study on the tectonic history of the basin.Keywords

The Himalayan fold-and-thrust belt has propagated from its Tibetan hinterland to the southern foreland since ∼55 Ma. The Siwalik sediments (∼20 - 2 Ma) were deposited in the frontal Himalayan foreland basin and subsequently became part of the thrust belt since ∼12 Ma. Restoration of the deformed section of the Middle Siwalik sequence reveals that the sequence is ∼325 m thick. Sedimentary facies analysis of the Middle Siwalik rocks points to the deposition of the Middle Siwalik sediments in an alluvial fan setup that was affected by uplift and foreland-ward propagation of Greater and Lesser Himalayan thrusts. Soft-sediment deformation structures preserved in the Middle Siwalik sequence in the Darjiling Himalaya are interpreted to have formed by sediment liquefaction resulting from increased pore-water pressure probably due to strong seismic shaking. Soft-sediment structures such as convolute lamination, flame structures, and various kinds of deformed cross-stratification are thus recognized as palaeoseismic in origin. This is the first report of seismites from the Siwalik succession of Darjiling Himalaya which indicates just like other sectors of Siwalik foreland basin and the present-day Gangetic foreland basin that the Siwalik sediments of this sector responded to seismicity.Keywords

The high-resolution panchromatic stereo camera Terrain Mapping Camera-2 (TMC-2) on-board the Indian Chandrayaan-2 mission sends images of the lunar surface at 5m resolution with a low to high sun-angle from an altitude of 100km. These images help identify subtle topographic variations and enable mapping of low-elevation landforms, one of which is a prominent ~220km long wrinkle ridge called the Dorsa Geikie (DG) lying within Mare Fecunditatis. The favourable resolutionof TMC-2 images and the digital elevation models provide opportunities for a detailed structural study of the DG and to reveal crustal shortening, cumulative contractional strain andpalaeostress regime responsible for thrust faulting for the first time.The time of deformation and formation of dorsa is also estimated for a holistic spatio-temporal understanding of deformation. This study presents initial analysis of the data received from TMC-2, and the accuracy of the results are likely to improve as the ingredients get amended and evolved in futureKeywords

Pyrrhae Fossae (PyFo) on Mars is a palaeo-extensional tectonic feature preserved within a Noachian basement in the north-western Noachis Terra (NT). We have tried to understand the possible origin of the stress responsible for the evolution of these tectonic structures and to correlate their formation with other global Martian events. We estimated the absolute model age of PyFo, using the Buffered Crater Counting (BCC) technique, which indicates that these extensional structures were formed at ~3.79 Ga, after the basement formation at ~3.98 Ga. Considering the ages and geology of the terrains adjoining the PyFo region, we propose that the regional scale flexural bending was promoted either in response to Tharsis-related volcano-tectonic load or thinning of northern lowlands producing extension at the upper crustal level, generating these fossae at the early stage of Martian evolution.Keywords
