Permian paleogeography of Peninsular and Himalayan India and the relationship with the Tethyan region in Gondwana Five. Selected papers and abstracts of papers.
During the Permian, Peninsular India, the Lesser and Himalayan India and southern Tibet are considered to have formed a single block or plate.
The flora from the Permian nonmarine sequences of India and Australia: a comparison in Gondwana Five. Selected papers and abstracts of papers.
In India and eastern Australia the megaflora is divisible into a number of assemblages containing genera in common but different at the specific level. This is considered to have been caused by homoplasy rather than by close proximity of India
Depositional patterns in limestones of the Kota Formation (Upper Gondwana), Andhra Pradesh, India in Gondwana Five. Selected papers and abstracts of papers.
sediments. The sea encroached and widened from the Indo-Australian Gulf in early Jurassic times. The formation is classified here as a distinct marine unit in the Upper Gondwana formations of peninsular India.
Fold tectonics in Gondwana formations of India in Gondwana Five. Selected papers and abstracts of papers.
Gondwana formations occur as outliers on Precambrian rocks along eight prominent river valleys of India. Large-scale fold tectonics are postulated for the coal belts of Mahanadi, Wardha. Godavari, Pench-Kanhar, Ganga (Rajmahal), and Brahmaputra
Structure and tectonics of Gondwana basins of peninsular India in Gondwana Five. Selected papers and abstracts of papers.
The intracratonic Gondwana basins of peninsular India occur in long, narrow, well-defined belts on the Precambrian platform, corresponding to rivervalleys of Damodar-Son, Mahanadi and Godavari. The basins are half grabens or grabens, with margin
