The Gurusiddapura and Hoskere conglomerates of Chitradurga schist belt belong to one continllolls stratigraphic unit. Deformational analysis indicates that the pebbles in both the conglomerates belong to one single population. Graded bedding and occurrence of pebbly and non-pebbly zones indicate turbidite environment of deposition in an unstable geosyncline. Since the conglomerates are interbedded with chlorite schist they do not mark any unconformity.

Abstract


The Gurusiddapura and Hoskere conglomerates of Chitradurga schist belt belong to one continllolls stratigraphic unit. Deformational analysis indicates that the pebbles in both the conglomerates belong to one single population. Graded bedding and occurrence of pebbly and non-pebbly zones indicate turbidite environment of deposition in an unstable geosyncline. Since the conglomerates are interbedded with chlorite schist they do not mark any unconformity.
