Rhythms in Proterozoic sedimentation, an example from Peninsular India

The subject discusses the controversial phenomena of cyclicity in the earth's evolutionary history and their reflection in the development of Proterozoic basins, with the Cuddapah basin covering 44,000 sq. km as an example.

Based on lithological infillings and their interpretation, a conclusion about cyclic development is endeavored, especially through signatures in the stratigraphic record of the basin.

Salient aspects of research findings highlight Cuddapah sedimentation, hydrocarbon possibilities, picrite-borne mantle xenoliths, Proterozoic erg system, paleoseismicity, and cyclic sedimentation, emphasizing its significance in basinal evolution.

The book will be useful to students, research workers, and professionals in geology who are interested in the problems of cyclicity in the earth's geological phenomena, the existence of which cannot longer be denied.
