Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India. On the Cretaceous and other Rocks of the South Arcot and Trichinopoly Districts Madras

1862

In the one case no further expenditure of time was permitted than sufficed to obtain a general knowledge of the main features of the structure of the district ; while in the other the fullest and most detailed investigation was given and such detailed mars' and reports as the following are the result. [...] In justice therefore to the writers of the several reports in these Memoirs this essential difference ought to be borne in mind as showing that the sketchy outline of general effects in the one case and the minute and careful working out of the details of the picture in the Other are simply the unavoidable consequence of the different circum' stances under which they were placed. [...] In several of the genera of which there are many species the forms are altogether distinct ; although judging from the evidence afforded by mineral character and association of species the conditions of depth and sea bottom at the time of the deposition of the strata seem to have been the same. [...] Both in this paper and in his subsequent notices published in the Proceedings and Journal of the Geological Society he leaves the question of the Geological relations of the Trivicary beds to the Cretaceous rocks undecided merely describing their topographical position to the West of the latter and the occurrence of very similar beds forming the little plateau known as the Red Hills on the E [...] King and Foote continued to examine and map the alluvium to the West of Trichinopoly and subsequently that of the Vellaur the sands of the Coast aid the whole of the country to the South of the Cauvery included in Sheet 79 of the Atlas Map.
