Abstract

The lithostratigraphy, depositional environment and age of the Marwar Supergroup have been reviewed in the light of report of δ¹³C depletion recorded in the carbonates of the Bilara Group (middle part of Marwar Supergroup) and discovery of trilobite-like trace fossils from the "Red beds" of Nagaur Group (upper part of Marwar Supergroup). The δ¹³C depletion observed in Bilara carbonates is not a result of glaciation rather due to rapid burial and poor water circulation in the low energy water of the protected basin. Secondly, the trace fossils are, in fact, traces of notostracan crustaceans found in shallow fluvial and shallow lacustrine environment. The present paper also records a spiral, burrowing trace-fossil, possibly Gyrolithes, from a cross-bedded sandstone of the Jodhpur Group.

Abstract

High precision Acceleration Mass Spectrometry (AMS) dates of corals, gastropods and smaller foraminifers from a coral-algal stratigraphical sequence, exposed 2.73-4.20 m above the present msl, near Mithapur on Dwarka-Okha coast, have been reported in the present paper. The age ranges from ca. 41.2 to 18.3 ka BP. The mineralogy, petrology and δ¹³C values of the samples indicate that the dates are reliable within the limitations of the dating method. Confirmatory U/Th dating will, however, be useful to strengthen the conclusion. Since the samples are from the intraplate area of the Saurashtra Peninsula, the present position of 41.2 and 18.3 ka old sea level recorders cannot be explained by a large-scale uplift. At the same time, they cannot be taken as the records of the sea level stands of ∼40 ka and ∼18 ka BP, as the generally accepted data suggest very low sea level stands of the periods. Therefore, an epeirogenetic model is to be evolved that satisfactorily explains not only the presence of -40 ka corals and stratigraphically superposed younger ∼18 ka sediments, but also the corals of 118-176 ka BP and 6 ka BP ages that co-exist at low altitudes at Mithapur. For this we need to generate more reliable dates of the area and integrate them with the geological and geophysical information.

Abstract

The Quaternary sediments of the Aramda Reef Member of the Chaya Formation exposed in the Mojap coast near Mithapur, Gujarat are characterized by well-developed coralline algal build-ups. These algal build-ups are exceptionally rich in coralline algae and corals. In the present paper, thirteen species belonging to eight genera of coralline algae are described. Out of these, seven species (Titanoderma nataliae, Lithophyllum nitorum, Lithophyllum quadratum, Spongites sp. Brandano et al., 2005, Sporolithon lvovicum, Mesophyllum fructiferum and Lithothamnion praefruticulosum) are the new records for India. Four species (Titanoderma pustulatum, Sporolithon intermedium, Mesophyllum commune and Phymatolithon sp.) are first time recorded from the study area. Among the major framework builders of coralline algae of the Aramda Reef Member are Lithophyllum, Titanoderma, Sporolithon, Mesophyllum and Lithothamnion.

Two associations of the coralline algal assemblages can be distinguished: one indicating shallow water, high-energy conditions is developed in the upper part, while the other suggesting deposition in low-energy conditions is characteristic of the lower part of the succession. These algal associations, together with their growth-forms (encrusting, warty to fruticose, layered) come from stratigraphically separate beds. They indicate that the temperature, depth and hydrodynamic energy conditions also fluctuated during deposition of the Aramda Reef Member. It is concluded that the lower Hapalidiaceae-Sporolithaceae association dominated during warmer interval, whereas the upper lithophylloids association flourished in relatively low-temperature conditions. The associated corals indicate that minimum winter sea surface temperature remained above 18°-20° C.
