a) Regional geology:- The area covers parts of Jodhpur and area is covered by alluvium and wind blow sand NE-SW direction of longitudinal. Dunes trending in the western and southwestern part of the area. Low-lying hills and flat-topped plateaus. The maximum and minimum elevation of the area are 300m and 302m respectively from the mean sea level. The drainage is represented by Jori River and a few nalas emeriging from the hills. Jodhpur-Marta (metre gauge main line) of northern railway passes through the northern part of the area. The main localities are connected by metalled roads.

The rocks exposed in the area belong to the bilara and the Bilara groups of the marwar supergroup. The palana formation is observed in a few dug wells in a zone running from north to south in the eastern part of the area. All the three formations of the bilara group i.e. the dhanapa, gotan and the pondlo formations are exposed in the area. The dhanapa formation comprises of chert, cherty dolomite and dolomitic

Limestone and is exposed in the western and southern part of the area. The goatn formation is exposed adjacent to the dhanapa formation and comprises aninterbedded sequence of limestone, dolomitic limestone and dolomite and is exposed in the occupies a large area in the central and

18 Lessee- Shri Narendra Agarwal Sambhariya Limestone Mining Lease Area- 103 ha. southern part of the area. It consists of chert, cherty dolomite and diplomatic limestone with some interblends of the Bilara group is exposed near the Pundlu village in the northern part of area. It consists of gritty and pebby sandstone with siltstone and clay and is exposed only in the northeastern corner of the area.

The palana formation (locally known as kuchera-khajwana formation) has been observed in a few dug wells in the eastern part of the area. It consists of white to violet coloured kaolinite with angular quartz grains, loose sand with lenses of calcareous grit and porous, fine to medium grained, current bedded sandstone. This is overlain by pockets of pebbles, gravels, kankars and the undifferentiated Aeolian and fluvial sediments overlying a major part of area include sand, soil, calcrete grit and ferruginous sandtone. Good quality limestone and sandstone are being quarried at several places for industrial and building material purposes in the area. Local geology:- The local geological succession for the area may be summarized as below:- Cherty, Cherty dolomite and Marwar Neo Bilara Pondlo dolomitic limestone with Super Proterezoic Group Formation interbeds of silistone and Group claystone

Lithology The soil with Alluvium is varying in thickness from 1.0 meter located at places over the Dolomatic Lime Stone deposit. Dolomatic Limestone varying in thickness from 2.0 meter located below the hard Limestone layer. The hard and weathered Limestone layer over the deposit varies from 12 meters in thickness.
