Fig. 3. Block of pinnzaeled quartzite, showing structure. 
This seamed character of the beds is seen more particularly on the 
scarps of the Kortycoonta plateau, above Ramulkotta.* 
Again, the pinnacled beds are occasionally well sub-divided into 
ordinary thick beds, as on the northern scarps of the Oopalpad plateau; 
but even here there is one, or perhaps two, very thick beds of the white 
or properly pinnacled rock. Perhaps after all, the other ordinary-looking 
beds may belong to the lower or plateau quartzites. The white massive 
beds are very strongly jointed in two prevailing lines, viz., nearly east- 
west, north-south, vertically, and as a consequence come away in great 
square-sided masses, and form ravines with vertical sides. 
The quartzites below the pinnacled beds which form the bottom of 
Plateau beds and this group—and it is a very thin one—are, as 
Meo. might be expected, conglomerates, pebble-beds, 
coarse grits with clay-galls, and ordinary sands, which are all more or 
less vitrified, though at the same time very often when weathered looking 
like apparently unaltered deposits. The conglomerates are not common, 
* About 20 miles south by west of Kurnool.
