The present paper deals with a study of thickness of cross-bedding units and palaeocurrents as deduced from cross-bedding foreset dip azimuths of the Siwaliks of Panjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. All the three sub-divisions of the Siwaliks-Lower, Middle and Upper exhibit mainly southerly palaeocurrent directions and the variance of cross-bedding foreset dip azimuths seems to decrease from the Lower to Upper Siwaliks. Consistent southerly paleocurrent direction in the Upper Siwaliks suggests that they were probably deposited in a single continuous basin instead of two separate basins.- Paleogeographic Evolution of a Part of the Indo-Gangetic Trough from the Late Tertiary to Recent

Synthesis of the stratigraphy, paleocurrents and depositional environment of the Siwaliks and sediments suggests that Lower and Middle Siwaliks were deposited predominantly in the form of overlapping, mega alluvial cones of rivers emerging from the Himalaya and flowing southward. Forerunners of some of the modern rivers of great antiquity played an important role in their deposition. During the Upper Siwalik times the Himalaya attained great heights and several important rivers developed on the southern slopes of the central range and deposition continued as before with the difference that a wide piedmont deposit of coarse conglomerate formed near the foot hills. During Siwalik times, an easterly flowing river close to the southern boundary of the area of deposition drained the rivers emerging from the Himalaya.The present geomorphic set up is essentially a continuation of the one developed during Siwalik times with only minor changes.

Dispersal pattern of sandstones of the Jodhpur Formation around Bhopalgarh (Rajasthan) was studied by measuring dip azimuths of cross-bedding foresets. Variance components of paleocurrents due to various sources were analysed. Low variance of paleocurrents, profusely cross-bedded character of sandstones and mainly arenaceous nature of the formation, suggested that the deposition of the major part of the Jodhpur Formation took place under braided fluvial conditions.- Geomorphology and!
