Angular Unconformity Between Manikaran Quartzite and Chlorite Phyllite, Rampur Window, Kulu District, Himachal Pradesh

Abstract

An angular unconformity between Manikaran quartzite and overlying chlorite phyllite is observed near Dharmoar, Parvati valley section of the Rampur window. The chlorite phyllites were deposited over the deformed and eroded surface of the quartzites. It is suggested that this unconformity has influenced the control of uranium mineralisation in the rocks of Rampur Group of the area.
