Preparation of vertical lithosection and granulometric study of the Tipam Sandstones exposed along Dilli River section, Assam

Dr. Pradip Borgohain

Abstract :

The Tipam Sandstones are mainly hard and massive nature alternating with shales and siltstones along the Dilli River section. The bottom part of the section is gritty in nature and in certain places iron concretions as well as embeded limestone boulders are recorded. The sandstones show typical salt and pepper texture and they are fine to medium grained. The presence of cross beddings indicates that the sediments were deposited under fluviatile environment. The sediments were transported in graded suspension with small amount as rolling sediments. Bivariant plots also reveal that the sediments were deposited in fluviatile environment.
