The oldest known rocks comprise of amphibolites, Banded Magnetite Quartzite (BMQ), calc granulite of Proterozoic age and occur as small patches in the district. The Assam Meghalaya Gneissic Complex (AMGC) of Proterozoic age consists of both classified and unclassified metamorphic rocks comprising ofunclassifiedgneiss, biotite gneiss, augen-gneiss,and migmatite/ bandedgneiss. This group of rocks is intruded by grey/pink granite/porphyritic granite (Mylliem Granitoid) of Neoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic age. Pegmatites and alkaline igneous rocks along with some basic dykes are also reported at some places. The basaltic dykes are apparently related to the Sylhet traps of Jurassic to Cretaceous age. The ultramafic rocks of Sung Alkaline Complex consists of lamprophyre, trachyte and doleritedykes. The Assam Meghalaya Gneissic Complex is overlain by Jaintia Group sedimentary sequence of Eocene age. The Shella Formation of Jaintia Group consists of arkose/ grittysandstone, lithomargic clay, shale and few coal seams. The Shella formation passes gradually into the Kopili Formation which is an alternate sequence of shale and sandstone with phosphatic nodules at places. Kopili Formation is overlain by Simsang Formation of Garo Group and mainly consists of feldspathic sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, clay, etc. Older Alluvium comprising of highly oxidized dark brown to reddish brown loamy sand of Chapar formation is alsofound. The Newer Alluvium of Recent age is deposited in the present river channels. In someareas, undifferentiated Quaternary sediments are also reported that compriseof oxidized to un-oxidized sand, silt and clay.

  • Brief Industrial Profile of West Garo Hills District
    Brief Industrial Profile Of West Garo Hills District Brief Industrial Profile of West Garo Hills District. 1. General Characteristics of the District : West Garo Hills is one of the largest district of Meghalaya located in the western part of the State. The Garo Hills district was divided into two districts, viz. the West Garo Hills district and the East Garo Hills district in October 1976. The erstwhile West Garo Hills district was further divided into two administrative districts of West and South Garo Hills on June 1992. The district headquarters of West Garo Hills is Tura, which is the second largest town in the State after Shillong. The population is pre-dominantly inhabited by the Garos, a tribe with a matrilineal society belonging to the Bodo family of the Tibeto-Burman race tribes. Other indigenous inhabitants are the Hajongs, Rabhas, Koches, Rajbansis, Meches, Kacharis and Dalus. The district is also inhabited by Bengalis, Assamese, Nepalese, Marwaries, Biharis and people from other parts of India The whole of Garo Hills region forms a sort of undulating plateau with plenty of flat lands and valleys with altitudes varying from 100-1400 m above sea level, Nokrek being the highest point, i.e., 1418m. The district has a rich and unique flora and it is supposed to be the original home of the Citrus. The climate of the district is largely controlled by South-West monsoon and seasonal winds. The West Garo Hills district being relatively lower in altitude to the rest of Meghalaya, experiences a fairly high temperature for most part of the year.
