Summary: | A thin, weakly-developed palaeosol horizon within the Neoproterozoic Sullavai sandstone in the eastern margin of the Pranhita-Godavari basin was studied. Field observations, thinsection studies and geochemical analyses of the palaeosol horizon were carried out to reconstruct the palaeo-weathering and palaeoclimatic conditions. The palaeosol developed on sandstone parent rock. Morphological features of this palaeosol are not distinct, perhaps due to very ancient nature as well as thin occurrence. A few of which that can be mentioned include weakly developed peds and calcareous nodules of size |
