Heavy Mineral Studies Of The Subsurface Tipam Sandstone Formation In Parts Of Upper Assam Basin
Dr. Pradip Borgohain
Abstract :
The subsurface Tipam Sandstone Formation of Upper Assam basin is characterized by various types of heavy mineral suites. The low value of zircon, tourmaline and rutile indicates that the sediments are mineralogically immature. The low maturity index and presence of unstable heavy minerals reveals a short distance of transportation, rapid and deep erosion following intense deformation in the source area and quick deposition of the sediments in the basin. The deposition took place in fluvial environment influenced by unidirectional current.
