Wagad Hills in the eastern part of Kutch, Western India, mainly comprise of rocks ranging in age from middle Jurassic to lower Cretaceous encircled by a thin and narrow fringe of Tertiary sediments.

A sedimentary model of Wagad Hills is proposed comprising environments of deposition, basin geometry, lithic fill, lithic arrangement, directional structures and tectonic setting. The area experienced a prograding delta system with a gradual shift of strand line from east to west during the course of deposition.
