MORNE SECTIONS. 



61 



Just beneatli the Mahadevas of tLe Kathota hill a narrow strip of 

 red sandstones crops out with red and purplish clays, which I include 

 amongst the Panehet rocks on lithological grounds. 



Similarly obscure are all the sections afforded in the Satnachna 

 nullah ; I could only obtain broken groups of rocks, and if they had not 

 fortunately yielded fossils, it would have been very difficult to make out 

 their relations. 



The nullah cuts through the strata near Reonti, exposing them in 

 two vertical cliffs of very nearly horizontal bedding. One of them due 

 west of the village is as follows : — 



Descending : 



12. Thinly-bedded grey shales and soft sandstones 

 11. Bluish shales

 ings ; they weather purplish

Similar is the vertical cliff north-west of Reonti village (southern 

 village).
