Yasmin Rizvi et-al GSP Information Release 924 ABSTRACT Basaltic flow exposures within cretaceous- paleocene sedimentary rock sequence are reported from Laki Range southern Sindh. These flows are confined to Pab Sandstone of late cretaceous age, Khadro Formation of early Paleocene age and the Bara Formation of middle paleocene age. The exposures found at Bara Nai, Rehman Dhoro and Ranikot Fort area interbedded with the sedimentary rocks of above mentioned formations. The presence of these basaltic flows formed the basis of this report i.e. The Preliminary Petrological studies of Basalts of Ranikot Fort, Bara Nai and Rehman Dhoro, Jamshoro and Dadu District, Sindh, Pakistan. The petrographic studies shows that the rocks from Rehman Dhoro and Ranikot are amygdaloidal Tholiitic Basalts . Texturally fine grained to very fine grained, intergranular and ophitic to subophitic, occasionally glomeroporphyritic and composed of Plagioclase (Labrodorite – Byotonite: where possibly measured) and Pyroxene (Pigeonite). Vesicles are occupied mostly by spherulitic calcite occasionally limonite and zeolites. The rocks from Bara Nai classified as amygdaloidal Tholeiitic Dolerites. The grain size is relatively coarser than other two localities and showing intersertal, intergranular and subophitic texture, however texture is commonly deformed. The minerals it composed are Pyroxene (Pigeonite) and Plagioclase. Amygdaloids are commonly occupied by spherulitic calcite. The major element geochemical studies of all three localities reflect that basalts are of tholeiitic in composition and belong to continental flood basalt. It is also depicted by various binary and ternary plots that all the samples fall in the tholeiitic field. The CIPW norms calculated on the basis of chemical composition yield normative hypersthene and Quartz indicative of tholeiitic nature. Yasmin Rizvi et-al GSP Information Release 924 INTRODUCTION The indication of basaltic rocks from Dadu and Jamshoro District as reported by many geologists during geological mapping of that area (HSC, 1960; Abdullah,M.M,1980 etc). But no detail studies account from the publication Records. The present studies provides the basic insight on the basis of preliminary petrologic investigation from three localities i.e. Ranikot area, Rehman Dhoro and Bara Nai, Dadu and Jamshoro districts, Sindh.. Location and Accessibility:- The studied first location lies in the middle part of the toposheet 35O/ 13 in the vicinity of Ranikot Fort (Fig 1a), Jamshoro District. The area is approximately 230 Km from Karachi and linked by both road and railway. The Rehman Dhoro and Bara Nai areas lie in the upper and middle part of the toposheet 35N/ 16. The areas are about 260 & 240 Km from Karachi and linked by road & railways both. Previous Investigation:- A number of workers reported the basalt exposures in the study area. Their contributions briefly in chronological order are as follows. 1. Blandford (1876) and later workers have reported the presence of traps (90 feet) in Paleocene rocks termed as Trap group which are equivalent to the Deccan trap of Peninsular India. 2. Farshori, 1972 referred as Trap rocks in northern part of the Laki Range. According to him these are mainly flows of basaltic composition interstratified with the sedimentary rocks i.e Pab Sandstone, Khadro Formation and Rehman Member of Ranikot group. These rocks occur at two horizons: 1. at lower level 300 feet above the base of Pab sandstone in Bara Nala 8 miles from Amri. 2. Upper flows occur just above the unfossiliferous sandstone of basalt Ranikot i.e. Dhapro beds (Nagappa, 1959). 3. Stratigraphy of Pakistan, 1977 reported a member of basaltic flows (at least two) in Khadro formation is present in the unit that is partly massive, amygdaloidal, brecciated and weathers black. In Bara Formation they termed it the volcanic debris. 4. Abdullah, 1980 reported during geological mapping of Amri Bara Quadrangle (35N/16) Lava flows of basaltic composition 0.1 to 1.5 meters thick in the middle part of Pab sandstone. As per his observations these flows are incidental and rare. 5. Shah, 2009 named the basaltic flows as the Khaskheli Formation overlies the cretaceous and are underlain by the Paleocene rocks.. These basalts are having the distinct - 1 - Yasmin Rizvi et-al GSP Information Release 924 Stratigraphic position in lower Indus basin encountered in most of the wells drilled in South Indus basin by the oil companies.

  • Archaeological Surveys in Lower Sindh: Preliminary Results of the 2009 Season
    Journal of Asian Civilizations -1- Archaeological Surveys in Lower Sindh: Preliminary Results of the 2009 Season Paolo Biagi ABSTRACT In January-February 2009 archaeological surveys were conducted in three different regions of Lower Sindh, from Ranikot, in the north, to the Makli Hills, in the south. They resulted in the discovery of many sites and flint spots within a territory the archaeology of which was previously poorly known. This paper is aimed at the description of these finds, their cultural attribution and, whenever possible, absolute chronology. Particular attention has been paid to the radiocarbon chronology of the sites located on the rocky outcrops that rise from the alluvial plain of the Indus delta, a few of which indicate that seafaring along the northern shores of the Arabian Sea was already active at least since the very beginning of the seventh millennium uncal BP. 1. PREFACE This paper is a preliminary report of the surveys carried out in January and February 2009 in Lower Sindh, between Ranikot, in the north, and the Makli Hills, in the south. The scope of the surveys, which were part of a joint venture by Ca’ Foscari University, Venice (I) and Sindh University, Jamshoro (PK), was to discover new archaeological sites in a territory insufficiently explored, and define their cultural attribution and absolute chronology by radiocarbon dating. Although some parts of the above region had already been surveyed by other authors (see, for instance, MAJUMDAR, 1934; COUSENS, 1998; FRANKE-VOGT, 1999; FLAM, 2006), our attention focused mainly on territories never accurately investigated before. The surveys were conducted by systematic walking in the three main, well- defined areas described in the following chapters (fig.

    R S www.irss.academyirmbr.com April 2021 S International Review of Social Sciences Vol. 9 Issue.4 I Exploring the Prospects of Tourism Industry as a Tool for Socio-Economic Development in Sindh, Pakistan Dr. TAYYABA RAFIQUE MAKHDOOM Assistant Professor, Sindh University Laar Campus @ Badin. Email: [email protected] Dr. MUHAMMAD NAWAZ BALOCH Associate Professor, Sindh University Laar Campus @ Badin. Email: [email protected] Tel: 03337586082 Dr. TAHAL KUMAR Lecturer, Sindh University Laar Campus @ Badin. Email: [email protected] Abstract Tourism industry offers benefits for labor, since it can provide jobs for all genders, age groups and social classes. Pakistan is full of beauty while Sindh province is full of tourist spots and historical monuments, and if they are utilized by the human resource of Sindh, they can generate a good income, which will eventually help in reducing the level of poverty. This is an exploratory study that sought to determine the status, problems and prospects for socio-economic benefit of tourism in Sindh. This is a concept paper which identified several problems and recommendations for improvements from relevant literature. Authorities should take heed through pro-poor tourism strategies. Thus, business opportunities for the poor can be extended, since they can be businesspersons/entrepreneurs and sell food, costumes, fuel, other tourist accessories, and building materials to tourism operations. An empirical study is suggested for identifying the general problems encountered by visitors at various tourist spots in Sindh, as solutions and policies can be devised. Keywords: Industry, Tourism, Development, Sindh. Introduction Tourism is one of among the labor intensive industries, as it creates employment for workforce of a nation.

  • Ca' Foscari and Pakistan Thirty Years of Archaeological Surveys And
    150 Years of Oriental Studies at Ca’ Foscari edited by Laura De Giorgi and Federico Greselin Ca’ Foscari and Pakistan Thirty Years of Archaeological Surveys and Excavations in Sindh and Las Bela (Balochistan) Paolo Biagi (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract This paper regards the research carried out by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Sindh and Las Bela province of Balochistan (Pakistan). Until the mid ’80s the prehistory of the two regions was known mainly from the impressive urban remains of the Bronze Age Indus Civilisation and the Pal- aeolithic assemblages discovered at the top of the limestone terraces that estend south of Rohri in Up- per Sindh. Very little was known of other periods, their radiocarbon chronology, and the Arabian Sea coastal zone. Our knowledge radically changed thanks to the discoveries made during the last three decades by the Italian Archaeological Mission. Thanks to the results achieved in these years, the key role played by the north-western regions of the Indian Subcontinent in prehistory greatly improved. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Archaeological Results. – 3 Discussion. – 3.1 The Chert Outcrops. – 3.2 The Late (Upper) Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites. – 3.3 The Shell Middens of Las Bela Coast. – 3.4 The Indus Delta Country. – 4 Conclusion. Keywords Sindh. Las Bela. Indus delta. Prehistoric sites. Radiocarbon chronology. 1 Introduction Due to its location midway between the Iranian uplands, in the west, and the Thar or Great Indian Desert, in the east, the Indus Valley and Sindh have always played a unique role in the prehistory of south Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent in particular.

    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FILOZOFSKA FAKULTETA ODDELEK ZA BIBLIOTEKARSTVO, INFORMACIJSKO ZNANOST IN KNJIGARSTVO Primerjava Encyclopædie Britannice in Wikipedie glede pokritosti vsebinskega področja X Mogul (Mughal) dinasty in India Profesor: doc. dr. Jure Dimec Študentka: Anja Jerše Ljubljana, december 2009 Izvleček: V seminarski nalogi je predstavljena primerjava med dvema spletnima enciklopedijama: Wikipedijo ter Encyclopædijo Britannico. Najprej je primerjava izvedena opisno – s primerjanjem njunih nemerljivih lastnosti, nato pa s pomočjo štetja tematik (ki jih predstavljajo hiperpovezave). Kot osnova sta bila izbrana dva nivoja spletnih strani tematike Mughal dynasty. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata obe enciklopediji pozitivne in negativne lastnosti. Wikipedija vsebuje veliko več hiperpovezav, ki pa so uporabljene precej nedosledno. Veliko pojmov je napačno zapisanih, povezave so nedelujoče ipd. Encyclopædija Britannica vsebuje hiperpovezave, ki so v veliki meri povezane z izbrano tematiko ter se od nje pretirano ne oddaljujejo. Povezave so ustvarjene dosledno, so delujoče ter pravilno zapisane, tematiko predstavi z vseh vidikov, Wikipedija pa pretirava s hiperpovezavami, ki bralca prehitro odvrnejo od osnovne tematike. Ključne besede: Wikipedia, Encyclopædia Britannica, hiperpovezave 2 KAZALO 1.
