Memoirs Geological Survey of India: The Gondwana System and Related Formations

1931

The most arresting feature in the scheme of chronological classi- fication of the formations comprising the Gondwana system is its apparently entire disagreement with the recognised sub-divisions of the geological record of Europe. [...] In our survey of the older members of these formations we have come to the end of the first series of fossiliferous systems, and are about to enter upon the consideration of the second. [...] Al- though geologists in India will appreciate the recognition of sub- divisions such as Permo-Triassic (the case of the Chideru beds of the Upper Productus limestone of the Punjab Salt Range) and Permo-Carboniferous (as applicable to the strata between the Middle Productus limestone and the Boulder bed of the Punjab Salt Range), it is doubtful if they will agree to the non-recogni- tion of the Pe [...] Furthermore the lapse of time between the Upper Carboniferous, to which the Boulder bed in the Salt Range and the Talchirs of the Peninsula definitely belong, and the Trias or Ceratite-containing strata is perhaps too great as compared with that allotted to the Jurassic system. [...] In the first year of the official establishment of the Geological Survey of India in 1856, in the first Memoir published by this department in that year, and almost the first paper in that Memoir was written by them on the Taichir coal-field.
