Abstract The paper discusses at length the provenance and the environments of sedimentation of the Cenozoic sediments exposed in the northwestern sector of the Himalayas. The results are based on detailed sedimentological (including mineralogical, petrographical and petrochemical) investigations of more than 8,000 representative samples. It is concluded that the detritus of the Cenozoic formations was derived mainly from metamorphosed rocks exposed in the adjacent Himalayan regions. A comparatively smaller proportion of the sediments was contributed by acid plutonic, volcanic and sedimentary rocks.

SINGH Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 53, University Road, Lucknow-226007, India ABSTRACT The Palaeogene succession of Simla Hills consists of Subathu, Dagshai and Kasauli formations in ascending order of stratigraphy. The palynostratigraphical information developed from the marine sequence of Subathu sediments throws light on the dating potential of the assemblages and also on the distributional pattern of various palyno• morphs. Dependable palynological parameters in effecting correlation of various sections of the formation have been discussed.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The Subathu Formation (Late Thanetian-Early Priabonian) of the Himalayan Foreland Basin constitutes a 2nd order depositional sequence with a subaerial unconformity at the base and a tidally influenced transitional sequence at the top. Three 3rd order T-R successions - A, B and C are recognized. Succession A (late Thanetian-late early Cuisian) includes seven facies association (FA) and commenced with transgression (TST; A.1), followed by MFS and a condensed section ( A.2; P4, SBZ 4-9), carbonate-siliciclastic coarsening upward sequence (A.3-4; HST), tectonically driven deposits (A.5-7), formation of back barrier lagoon with tidal inlet inhabited by sharks, ray fish; poor circulation in the lagoon caused mortality of the vertebrate fauna (A.6) and Early stage base level rise (A.7). Succession B. (Middle-Upper Cuisian, SBZ 11-12) includes seven FAs, B.1. Minor flooding surfaces, B.2-3. Coarsening upward succession, tidalflat, subtidal setting, B.4. Muddy tempestites, in inner shelf, B.5-6. Several benthic foraminifera and crabs indicate rise in sea level, B.7.

Grab samples from (a) Tarol assayed up to 1.41% eU,O,, 1.65% U,O, (Ply) and <0.005% Tho, and (b) Maltu assayed up to 0.24% eU,O,, 0.28% U,O, (p/y) and <0.005% Tho,. In both the localities, majority of the samples show disequilibrium in favour of parent (uranium). Uraninite and uranophane are the main uranium minerals, which occur in close association with disseminated pellets of organic matter. Keywords: Econotnic geology, U-mineralisation,Sandstone type, Tertiary, Dharamsala, Solan, Himachal Pradesh.

    Paper Number: 603 Need to relook at the depositional environment of the Himalayan Foreland Basin during transition from the last marine to first continental sedimentation SINGH, S.1,2 and Ghosh, P.2 1Centre for Advanced Studies in Geology, Panjab University, Chandigarh–160014 (INDIA) [email protected] 2Centre for Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore–560012 (INDIA) ___________________________________________________________________________ The collision and suturing of Indian plate about 50 Ma ago resulted in closure of Tethyan Ocean basin, commencement of Himalayan Orogen and subsequent formation of foreland basin towards south. This last phase of marine sedimentation in India during Paleocene-Eocene is represented by deposition of Subathu Formation which unconformably rest on the Lesser Himalayan sedimentary rocks and are overlain by the continental sediments of the Dagshai Formation. The contact between Subathu and Dagshai Formations remains controversial and is marked by a combination of variegated purple siltstone-shale alternations, described as ‘passage beds’ [1, 2] which in turn, are overlain by dull white sandstone. Further, this transition between Subathu and Dagshai Formations, both in terms of depositional environment and age, is poorly understood. Surprisingly, these passage beds show evidence for pedogenesis but no such palaeopedological studies have been reported so far. It is indeed intriguing why pedogenesis of these sediments has not been taken in to consi deration while reconstructing depositional environment and set-up of the basin. A number of outcrops of passage beds occur in and around Shimla hills of Subathu sub-basin of the Himalayan Foreland Basin. An extensive field work in one of such beautifully exposed outcrops near Parwanoo district of Himachal Pradesh state of India was carried out.

Due to the unfossiliferous nature of the alluvial facies, dating has been achieved largely by isotopic methods. Recently, Bhatia and Bhargava (JAES 2006 v26, 477–487) called into question the validity of the isotopic dates obtained for these rocks, and proposed a conformable contact between the marine and alluvial facies, based on biostratigraphic evidence.

  • Tourist Place in Nahan (Sirmaur)
    Tourist Place in Nahan (Sirmaur) The district of Sirmaur in the southeast corner of the State is divided by river Giri into two parts, the cis-Giri and the trans Giri. Cis - Giri in which falls, Nahan, the Headquarters of Sirmaur District shows slightly higher development indicators than the other area. The tourists, however, would find places of pilgrimage and interesting legends associated with these in both sides of the river. The princely state of Sirmaur had its capital in Sirmauri Tal, not far from Paonta Sahib. When it was destroyed in a flood, the Capital was shifted to Rajvan and then to Kalsi and during the rule of Raja Karm Prakash (1615-1630), Nahan was spotted as the place fit to be the capital. At 932m, Nahan is a pleasant looking town on a ridge of the Shivalik Hills. Its climate is salubrious and the town is dotted with gardens, temples and three popular walking circuits, commonly known as the Villa the Military and the Hospital Rounds. The 'Chaugan', a green open space, in the midst of the town is the centre for many cultural events and sports activities. Himachal Pradesh is not only the land of snow and high mountains but also has lower hills known as Shivalik, where too the tourists can spend their vacations, see the wonders of nature like the big lakes, wild life parks or sanctuaries and the fossil parks etc. One such area is district Sirmaur, where a triangle of 3 important tourist places namely Nahan, Renuka and Paonta Sahib, have attracted many tourists all round the year.

  • 1 the Forgotten Shaheeds of Dagshai K. S. Sarkaria § 1. the Question
    The Forgotten Shaheeds of Dagshai K. S. Sarkaria § 1. The question. My family’s connection with Dagshai goes back to 1935 when our cottage here was built by my grandfather, Atma Singh Sarkaria. He used to call it the “Singuffa”, or the lion’s cave, and all who see this cottage invariably pose the same question: why that door, seemingly to nowhere, on its first floor? The object in this note is however a different – and an altogether more serious and important – question: why does the Dagshai of today not remember the twelve freedom fighters who made the supreme sacrifice here in 1915 ? There is evidence – see the extracts from publications on the Ghadr discussed in §3 below – that gives us the names of all the twelve martyrs, and seems conclusive about this event here in Dagshai in 1915. One would think then that these names should be as well-known as Bhagat Singh’s in Dagshai, but I was unable to find a single citizen – and quite a few families have been here for three or more generations – who had even heard of this event! It seemed to be yet another case of public memory being short, and heroes forgotten very quickly. To help lift the veil of oblivion that had so undeservedly wrapped these shaheeds, I started digging into this question a few weeks ago, and this is a roughly chronological record of what I have learnt so far. 1 § 2. An email from Chachaji. Until last year, I myself was ignorant about this event, though I vaguely remember having heard something like it before – maybe from my grandfather during one of the stopovers in Dagshai on our way to the plains from Simla where my father was posted in the 1950’s ? – when I was quite small.
