Storm products are exceedingly rare in glacio-marine and -Iacustrine sequences. However, glacigenic Permo-Carboniferous Talchir sequence in Dudhi nala, West Bokaro coal basin, Bihar, registers two distinct hummocky cross-stratified facies units of considerable thickness. This, in turn, suggests the activity of storm waves vis-a-vis the removal of iceberg cover and considerable amelioration of climate during Talchir times.
