The Neogene/Quaternary boundary is reported to be erosional. The Pleistocene miliolite limestone shows the development of a sequence of palaeo-beach-dune complexes with the gradual fall of sea level. The late Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphic units comprise different generations of deltaic sediments aggrading older tidal marshes and backswarnps. The late Holocene sea-level fall helped in delta progradation and the development of different accretionary units all along the coast.

Abstract


The Neogene/Quaternary boundary is reported to be erosional. The Pleistocene miliolite limestone shows the development of a sequence of palaeo-beach-dune complexes with the gradual fall of sea level. The late Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphic units comprise different generations of deltaic sediments aggrading older tidal marshes and backswarnps. The late Holocene sea-level fall helped in delta progradation and the development of different accretionary units all along the coast.
