The Occurrence of Trace Fossils in the Delhi Supergroup of Northeastern Rajasthan JOURNAL GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF INDIA Vol. 26, June 1985, pp. 422 to 425 THE OCCURRENCE OF TRACE FOSSILS IN THE DELHI SUPERGROUP OF NORTHEASTERN RAJASTHAN S. P. SINGH 1 AND UTPAL BOSE 2 123 1 Commerce College, Professors' Colony, Chitragupta Nagar, Patna 800020 2 B-16 (A), Chomu House, Jaipur 302001 Abstract Trace fossils of trail markings and burrows are reported from the Alwar and Ajabgarh metasediments of the Proterozoic Delhi Supergroup from several localities of northeastern Rajasthan. Introduction Occurrence of algal stromatolites and probable fucoid markings have been re­ ported earlier from the otherwise unfossiliferous Delhi Supergroup of rocks (Sen and Hore, 1976 : Negi and Ravindra, 1981 ; Verma and Burman, 1981). Dutt and Sri­ vastava (1975) have reported fossil flora from Firozpur Jhirka ridge, Haryana. Singh (1982a, b) has reported trace fossils from the Bayana sub-basin. In the course of recent investigations in the Delhi basin of northeastern Rajas­ than, presence of trace fossils have been recorded at several places. Among these Bhasawar, Sita, Alapuri (in the Bayana sub-basin), Dago, Bairat and Jaipur localities are worth mentioning. Stratigra phy The litho-assemblage of the Delhi Supergroup along with its trace fossil occur­ rences is shown in Table 1. Description of trace fosS1ts Trail marks: Crawling traces (Fig. 1) or Bairat area have smooth, curved and coiled groove-like forms with about 2 mm depth, 5-8 mm width: and a few tens of centimetres in total length. These traces are sinuous, cross-cutting and overprinted on rippled surface in Jaipur and Bayana areas, They are shallower and shorter in length as compared to those of the Bairat area, but are more densely populated and have comparatively much larger areal extent. Apart from ripples, wrinkle marks and desiccation cracks are also associated with them. Total sediment column con­ taining bioturbated shale layers is more than 40 m near A1apuri in Bayana area. BurJ'ow.~: Burrows of Dago area are normally vertical, of simple type, and have affected only 5-10cm sediment column. The primary sedimentary structures have been totally destroyed and the bedding surface has a mottled look. In Bhasawar area, these structures occur either in the form of grooves and ridges or as shafts and tunnels (Fig. 2) and probably belong to the Thalassinoid genera. Some of these grooves are internally connected and separated on the surface by thin septa. They appear to be the surface manifestation of interpenetrating burrows affecting a sedi­ ment column of about 30cm. Burrow systems consisting of shafts and tunnels show simple as well as branching f,?rms. Most of the shafts are connected by hori~ zontal or indined tunnels. Burrow nucleus and burrow halo (Reineck and Singh, 1975) can be recognized in most of the cases. These structures show medium 0016 -7622/85/26-6-422/$ 1.00 © Geo!. Soc. India.

More bio­ turbated zones are separated by less bioturbated zones and there is upward increase in the degree of bioturbation. Environmental interpretations The above discussions reveal that two types of lebensspUi are present in the Delhi Supergroup. The first type is trail markings - the crawling trace~ produced by the moving organisms on a soft sediment surface (Singh, ] 982b). The other type is burrows which are produced by dwelling organisms. RESEARCH NOTES 425 Trail markings show similar morphology and· wide coverage in space and time, and so is the case with burrows of the Delhi rocks. And, hence these structures cannot be used for stratigraphic correlation. However, burrow forms and degree of bioturbation can directly be used for palaeoenvirO'nmental interpretation (Seilacher, 1967). Presence of vertical burrows in the W.eir Formation of the Bayana area and Jogipura Formation of the Dago area indicate its intertidal depo­ sitional environment. The medium degree of bioturbation indicates rather slow sedimentation in low energy zone. Change in the degree of bioturbation in a verti­ cal column may be attributed to the fluctuating rate of sedimentation or alterna­ tively it may suggest sedimentation during alternate periods of agitated and quieter environments (Reineck and Singh, 1975). Similar depositional environments have been interpreted from the studies of sedimentary structures and facies assemblages (Singh, 1982b). References DUTT, G. N. and SHRIVASTAVA, R.

  • Asoka's Dhamma
    / ASORA'S DIIAMMA - Ninnal C. Sinha A soka's place is second in the history of Dhamma, second only to ~he founder, Gautama Siddhartha the Buddha. Both Theravada (Southern Buddhist) and Mahayana (Northern Buddhist) traditions agree on this point that Asoka is second to Buddha. Nigrodha or Upagupta, Nagasena or Nagatjuna, both Theravada and Mahayana traditions agree, rank after Asoka. Brahmanical (Hindu) literary works extant bear testimony to Asoka being a great Buddhist. Kalhana in Rajatarangini (12th Cent. A.D.) records Asoka as having adopted the creed of Jina (= Buddha) and as the builder of numerous Stupas and Chaityas. Modem scholars, mostly European, however question the authenticity or purity of Asoka's Dhamma. Critics of Asoka notice the absence of Four Noble Truths, Eight Fold Path and Nirvana from Asoka's Edicts and point to Asoka's mention of Svaga (Svarga) or Heaven in the Edicts. Some scholars hint that Asoka's toleration policy was to accommodate Brahmanical faith while others label Asoka's Dhamma as his invention. In my submission Asoka was a Buddhist first and a Buddhist last. Asoka's own words, that is, Asoka's Edicts substantiate this finding. Inscriptions of Asoka were read and translated by pioneer scholars like Senart, Hultzsch, Bhandarkar, Barua and Woolner. I 5 cannot claim competence to improve on their work and extract mainly from the literal translation of Hultzsch (Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum: Volume I, London 1925). This ensures that I do not read my own meaning into any word of Asoka. For the same reason I use already done English translation ofPali/Sanskrit texts.

    Briefing Book (Updated up to 30th June, 2012) Geological Survey of India Western Region EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Field Season Programme for the Field Season 2012 – 13 has been initiated and the Field officers have already taken reconnoitory traverses and in most cases finalized the steps for execution of the programme. The project execution is progressing as per the prorate. 2. Work in the Mundiyawas Khera copper prospect continues to give significant results. The possibility of the prospect to become one of the largest deposit in Alwar Basin and of whole of Rajasthan still holds good. 3. Based on the encouraging analytical results of 100 m X 100 m surface grid samples, subsurface probing has been initiated in Karoi area (an outcome of NGCM work) for search of copper. Surface mineralization nature has already indicated the strike extension of the prospect for more than a kilometer with bornite as the primary sulphide phase associated with chalcopyrite. The prospect is likely to yield encouraging values for copper at subsurface. 4. All the items programmed for the Field Season 2012 – 13 have been initiated. Fieldwork have ben initiated for all the items under Mission – I and Mission – II. Fieldwork have been initiated for some items of Mission – IV. Fieldwork for the remaining items of Mission – IV will be taken up very soon. 5. For the sponsored projects of Engineering Geology, interaction is going on with the Project Authorities and the programmes will be executed very soon after signing of MOU. 6. All the officers of 35th OCG Batch joining Western Region have initiated their project work of OCG Curriculam in the respective items where they will be associated during the Field Season 2012 – 13.

  • MEWAT: a Region That Is Turning Almost Exclusively Muslim at the Core
    MEWAT: A region that is turning almost exclusively Muslim at the core Mewat—comprising the newly created Mewat district of Haryana, the adjoining Hathin tahsil of Palwal and several contiguous tahsils of Alwar and Bharatpur districts of Rajasthan—is the homeland of Meo Muslims. They form nearly 50 percent of the population of this region; their presence is above 70 percent in several tahsils and reaches 85 percent in a couple of them. Their growth in all of these tahsils has been very high during the last four decades for which we have compiled the data. Thus, in the five tahsils of the region that fall in Haryana, and which together accommodate more than a million Muslims in 2011, their share in the population has risen from 62 percent in 1971 to 75 percent now. In Pahari tahsil of Bharatpur, their proportion has grown even faster, rising from 63 percent in 1991 to 73 percent in 2011. Every tahsil in the region has experienced a similarly high growth in the presence of Muslims in this period. Unlike the Muslims of Malerkotla in Punjab, who had the protection of the Sikhs around them, the Meos of Mewat had been in active conflict with the Hindus in the decades leading to the Partition, largely because of the spread of the fundamentalist Tablighi movement among them since the last decades of the nineteenth century. There was much disturbance in the region during the Partition and many were displaced from their homes. However, most of them returned after the unrest subsided. They thus retained their dominance in the region.
