Eight river channel sand bodies are recorded and studied in the upper part of the Middle Siwalik group in Jamrani area. These sand bodies are characteristically lens shaped in cross-sectional view and exhibit fining upward sequence. Their shape, internal characters and orientation in space and time indicate that these sand bodies were formed due to scouring and filling by migrating streams.
