50 GRIESBACH : RAMKOLA AND TATAPANI COAL-FIELDS. 



B. — MoENB River Sections. 



14. — Section in the Morne Nullah between Kandia and Hadrai, Fig. 3, 



Plate 4. 

 3. Talchirs. In the Hadrai nullah they show the following section -. — 



a, boulder-bed ; h, irregular bed of marls and shales with boulders ; 

 c, thick beds of greenish fine-grained sandstone with lenticular 

 masses of boulder-bed ; d, silty-green boulder-bed ; e, fine-grained 

 sandstone with marly yellow and green shales, strike north 20" 

 east to south 20° west, dip 10° to north-20°-west. 

 2. Sub-metamorphic conglomerate as described before, page 10. 

 1. Granite, with two hornblendic dykes. 



Near the junction of the Morne with the Joba nullah the Talchirs 



are brought into direct contact with the Mahadevas by faulting^. Tho 



beds are a g-ood deal crumpled here by a succession of north-west to 



south-east faults^ which in one or two places expose the purple and 



variegated coloured marls or clays of Panchet type below the Mahadevas 



which now dip 25° to 27° south-west. 



15. — Sections of the Ltmdra Hills. 



In the nullahs flowing from the Lundra hills^ and joining either 



the Suknai or the Morne later on^ we obtain very good sections through 



all the beds of Gondwana rocks. 



In descending order : — 



6. Mahadeva sandstone, forms a cap as it were on the top of the Panchet 

 grits and clays, and witli the latter is much shattered and traversed by 

 local faults, difficult to trace. Near Lundra the lower beds (Panchets) 

 appear again from below the Mahadevas and present a rolling dip, 

 wherever seen, in the small nullahs intersecting this plain. 

 5. Panchets. e. Gritty sandstone with angular pebbles of metamorphics 

 and hard ferruginous conglomerates consisting of an- 

 gular fragments, some of considerable size. 

 No exposure for some distance. 



d. Bluist silts, similar to (6), here and there variegated, 



with gritty masses and bands of clay iron ore. 



e. Gritty ferruginous shales. 



h. Silty beds, not unlike Talchirs in some respects, but 



densely red. 

 a. Marly beds, splitting into rhomboidal pieces,
