Abstract

Paleocurrent analysis of the south-eastern part of the Gangpur series, made from cross-bedded structures in the quartzites of Raghunathpalli and Birmitrapur stages, shows that during the deposition of the older Raghunathpalli stage, the currents were flowing in a north-north-east direction and at a later period during the deposition of upper Birmitrapur stage the current direction was predominantly north-north-west.

A new method has been suggested for correction of tectonic tilt of paleocurrent data.
