MINERALOGICAL ANALYSIS OF LATERITIC BADLAND OF WESTERN PART OF MEDINIPUR (WEST) DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL, INDIA

Dr. Subhendu Ghosh

Abstract :

This paper concentrates on the study of sedimentary evidences for assessing the environmental dynamics of a palaeocoastal part of Bengal basin during Quaternary period. Samples have been collected in an ascending manner form the gully head to the gully floor in fixed intervals. These samples have been analysis in terms of mineral contamination by the author to asses, the stratigraphy, microstructure of the sediment depositions and trace fossils. Forms of the sedimentary structures are studied during field work. It has been observed that various forms of sedimentary structure developed Quaternary period which represent the influences dynamic process condition in the present study area.
