Abstract
Breccia and pebbly massflow products are present in abundance in basin slope deposits of an unnamed marine Proterozoic fonnation in Maharashtra. Seven distinctive genetic modes have been identified and attributed to slump, slide, spring sapping and evaporite dissolution. The clasts are tabular in form and intraclastic in origin. The observations suggest caution against the prevailing tendency to equate occurrence of tabular intraclasts with shallow depositional regime. In order to ascertain their sedimentological significance, a clear understanding of their genetic processes is thus warranted.
