Using the developed grid of sequence timelines, the diverse inter-disciplinary geological manifestations on the broad tectono-stratigraphically homogeneous supra-region of GTM (Gondwanian Tethyan Margin from Arabia to Australia) have been mutually integrated towards chronicling of events with precision never ever realized earlier. The giga-sequences GS-I to GS-IV comprising eight mega-sequences MS-I to MS-VIII deal with the Precambrian in brief.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGS-V (ｬ 635 ma onward) MS-IX (ｬ 635-444 ma) and MS-XII (ｬ 61.6 onward) include orogenies while MS-X (ｬ 444-259 ma) and MS-XI (ｬ 259-61.6 ma) are dominated by dismemberment tectonics. The prime focus is on the correlation of events across scores of sedimentary basins from outcrop to subsurface, onshore to offshore, marine to non-marine, shallow to deep water, plant to animal, micro to macro-fossils, and Proto-Paleo-Neotethys to Indian Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the major Phanerozoic events time precised are the ｬ 500 ma Acantha Zone mega MFS accretion of the then alien TH to the Indian margin, and the ｬ 50 ma P8 Zone mega MFS impingement of India on Asia while the important dismemberment events include the ｬ 159 ma late Middle Oxfordian Orientalis Zone Schilli Subzone 1\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e order MFS initiation of the Indian Ocean which culminated in steps with oceanic separation of Sri Lanka from Antarctica at the ｬ 107 ma early Middle Albian Dentatus Zone mega MFS, ｬ 90 ma 1\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e order SB initiation of separation of Madagascar so also of Mascaranes basin, NER, Central Indian basin, Wharton basin, separation of Greater Seychelles from India at the ｬ 64.5 ma intra Danian 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e order Quadratus Zone MFS and ｬ 24 ma Complanata Zone MFS thrusting due south of Greater Himalaya upon Lesser Himalaya.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndian Geological Sequences: Salient Features and Major Events\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a valuable reference\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003efor researchers and scientists in the field of Earth Sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jai Krishna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128212705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128212707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jai Krishna","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076420038911,"sku":"9780128212707","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef28332d-7c11-47a7-a85e-11e995738350.jpg?v=1685464889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indian-geological-sequences-jai-krishna-9780128212707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
