Early Proterozoic Chaibasa Formation around Ghatsila-Galudih region comprises a number of cyclic fining-upward prograding sequences of tidalites. Each cycle begins with a basal flat-bedded to cross-bedded quartzit.e that passes into phyllite/ schist through a zone of alternating quartzite-phyllite/schist. Occurrences of large-scale cross-bedding, reactivation surface, mud cracks, fiaser, lenticular bedding and wave ripples coupled with channels and scours and evidence of strong current variability suggest deposition by tractional current in tidal fiats rather than in deep-sea environment by turbidity current. Dominance of unidirectional current structures results· from migration of bedforms only during the dominant phase of the tidal current.Keywords

Storm products are exceedingly rare in glacio-marine and -Iacustrine sequences. However, glacigenic Permo-Carboniferous Talchir sequence in Dudhi nala, West Bokaro coal basin, Bihar, registers two distinct hummocky cross-stratified facies units of considerable thickness. This, in turn, suggests the activity of storm waves vis-a-vis the removal of iceberg cover and considerable amelioration of climate during Talchir times.- Silver-Bearing Sulphosalts from Rampura-Agucha Massive Sulphide Deposit of Rajasthan

Tourmalinite occurs as a stratigraphically persistent unit in the Proterozoic Cu-U belt of Singhbhum, Bihar. Internally the tourmalinite is plane laminated with alternations of tourmaline-rich and quartz-rich layers, and is also cross-stratified. Tounnalinite breccia also forms a significant part of the unit. Preserved primary sedimentary features, amidst deformed and metamorphosed rocks, attest to a primary sedimentary origin of the tourmalinite. Close assocication of Cu-Sulphide mineralizations and tourmalinite suggests volcanogenic origin of the Cu-sulphide mineralization and precipitation of the tourmalinite from boron-rich exhalative fluids.Keywords

External casts comparable with Polyplacophora (Mollusca), collected from the sand/silt-mud alternation facies (turbidite) of upper Talchir sediments of Dudhi Nala, West Bokaro basin, Hazaribagh district, Bihar are described and illustrated here for the first time. These sediments were reported to be unfossiliferous. Polyplacophoran morphology of the fossils indicate a marine link of the West Bokaro basin during the upper Talchir times. Dudhi Nala area is presently considered to be yet another locality proximal to the eastern limit of the Lower Permian marine incursion in the Indian peninsula along the Raniganj-Daltonganj-Manendragarh-Umaria belt.Keywords

Current crescents genetically linked to exposed heads of the passively filled mud-lined tunneled crustacean burrows on the sandy substrate are being reported from the upper shelf sediments of glacio-marine Talchir Formation (Permo-Carboniferous), Raniganj Basin, Eastern India. Such burrow-linked current crescents may be used as a tool for the identification of sedimentary environment and its energy condition.Keywords

Banded iron formations of the Iron Ore Group (Archean greenstone belts) of Jharkhand-Orissa region, India host a good number of large iron ore deposits (Fe wt %> 62). Iron ore mineralization of Gandhamardan hill is one of them where iron ores occur in two stratigraphic horizons. One is strictly confined within banded iron formation (stratabound mineralization) with irregular geometry, and show fracture filling and replacement vein-type mineralization along the fringes of hard massive ores of the core. This type of mineralization is exposed along the western slope of the hill. Hard massive and laminated ores dominate this mineralization. The other type occurs as low dipping sheet like body above banded iron formation and covered by laterites forming the top of the hill. Flaky ores dominate this mineralization with formation of hard goethitic crust near the top. Both the mineralizations contain mineralized banded iron formation corestones surrounded by hard massive or flaky iron ores. Hard massive ores are entirely represented by martite-microplaty hematite mineralogy. Hard laminated ores contain microplaty hematite and few martite grains representing early magnetites of the banded iron formation. Flaky ores are high porosity ores produced by leaching of silica, martite and microplaty hematite. Hard goethitic ores are developed due to replacement of martite and microplaty hematite or precipitation of goethite in the pore spaces.
Formation of iron ores within banded iron formation horizon, hydrothermal brecciation and replacement of jaspery blocks by iron ores, presence of mineralized banded iron formation core-stones within the massive hard ores and martitemicroplaty hematite rich mineralogy of the ores strongly advocate in favour of hydrothermal origin for the Gandhamardan iron ore mineralization. Iron bearing reducing and alkaline basinal or deeply circulated meteoric water may be held responsible for the hydrothermal mineralization. The ore fluid became oxidizing with cooling. Such hydrothermal ores recorded further leaching and goethitization under supergene environment.

Present work is the first report of Early Permian xiphosurid trackways from India. Surface trackways and undertracks, preserved within ice-marginal storm-affected, shoreface sediments of the Talchir Formation, Jayanti coalbasin closely resemble Kouphichnium Nopsca 1923. Trackways reveal distinct heteropody with foliate pusher impressions, paired series of semi-circular, oval, V- or Y-shaped chilate (walking) leg impressions. Varied ventral impressions also include telson drag marks and telson dents; spine drag marks, book-gills impression, genal gouges as well as symmetric, paired lateral genal furrows, partial cubichnial impressions of prosoma and spinose opisthosoma. A tentative early Permian age (Asselian/Sakmarian) and marginal marine facies association points towards a paleolimuloidae affinity for the trace makers, which is in conformity with their inferred widths of exoskeleton, sub-rounded prosoma and subtriangular spinose opisthosoma with predictable movable spines. Flexed pusher impressions and co-dominant pincer impressions as well as, other ventral impressions in abundance, confirm crawling as their dominant mode of locomotion. Inferred presence of juvenile crawlers in the community suggests a probable shoreline or marginal marine ecospace.Keywords
