Indian Geological Sequences: Salient Features and Major Events uses sequence stratigraphic concepts to innovatively differentiate the entire ~4500 ma Indian geological record into four giga, twelve mega, 25 first order, over 65 second order, and over one hundred third order isochronous tectono-stratigraphic sequences spread across India and its neighbors. The book's focus is on the youngest giga-sequence of Terminal Neoproterozoic-Cenozoic span and sequence surface timelines ~635 ma onward (two for each sequence: one SB and one MFS) for chronicling the high-resolution geodynamic evolution of India and the surrounding countries between Arabia and West Australia. This resource will be invaluable to graduate students, researchers, earth scientists and hydrocarbon exploration specialists in India and around the world. Relates multidimensional geological events of one region to another in a vast supra-region through precisely dated sequence timelinesLinks macro- and micro-evolutionary advent and extinction events to macro- and micro-geological eventsIncludes multidisciplinary data sources from sedimentological, geochemical and geophysical records INDICE: 1.
