A sequence of quartzite, banded phyllite and slate in the southern part of the Nallamalai fold belt shows a series of macroscopic gently plunging folds (DI) with NW-SE striking axial plane and a pervasively developed axial planar slaty cleavage. A weak later deformation has produced sporadic gentle folds (D2) with axial planes at high angle to the D1 fold axial planes.
The rocks along the eastern contact of the belt are mylonitized and the intensity of deformation gradually dies away towards west. A zone of tectonic dislocation is envisaged between the basement granite gneiss towards the east and the supracrustal Nallamalai rocks.

The early Archaean oval-Shaped, high-Grade Gurgunta schist belt in the northern part of the eastern Dharwar craton of south India constitutes a part of the intensely deformed magmatized basement of the low-Grade volcano-Sedimentary sequence of the Dharwar craton. The Gurgunta schist belt consists of two blocks of a migmatised volcano-Sedimentary sequence separated by an E-W trending shear zone. Contrary to the earlier interpretations, the regional structure of the belt is not a dome.
The earliest episode of deformation (D1) has produced pervasive planar fabric in metavolcanics and in granitoid rocks after migmatisation of volcano-Sedimentary rocks in its early history D2 has produced major and minor isoclinal folds along with axial planar pervasive gneissic banding while the D3 has produced major and minor tight to isoclinal folds on foliation. The map pattern is controlled by D3 deformation D4 and D5 are of mild intensity and less prominent on a regional scale in comparison to earlier deformations.
The grade of metamorphism, migmatisation, the structural history and the presence of E-W trending shear zone suggest that the belt is probably older than the low-Grade supracrustal belts in the adjoining areas.

The Himalayan fold-and-thrust belt has propagated from its Tibetan hinterland to the southern foreland since ∼55 Ma. The Siwalik sediments (∼20 - 2 Ma) were deposited in the frontal Himalayan foreland basin and subsequently became part of the thrust belt since ∼12 Ma. Restoration of the deformed section of the Middle Siwalik sequence reveals that the sequence is ∼325 m thick. Sedimentary facies analysis of the Middle Siwalik rocks points to the deposition of the Middle Siwalik sediments in an alluvial fan setup that was affected by uplift and foreland-ward propagation of Greater and Lesser Himalayan thrusts. Soft-sediment deformation structures preserved in the Middle Siwalik sequence in the Darjiling Himalaya are interpreted to have formed by sediment liquefaction resulting from increased pore-water pressure probably due to strong seismic shaking. Soft-sediment structures such as convolute lamination, flame structures, and various kinds of deformed cross-stratification are thus recognized as palaeoseismic in origin. This is the first report of seismites from the Siwalik succession of Darjiling Himalaya which indicates just like other sectors of Siwalik foreland basin and the present-day Gangetic foreland basin that the Siwalik sediments of this sector responded to seismicity.Keywords
