INTRODUCTION
A geological trip to study of H%m*+*"*+*& 'eo"o'+ led by Prof.
(Dr.) A.K Singh to Dehradun. The trip guided by Dr. R. A!"i
and accompanied by Dr. U.S Prasad. The trip was organized for
four day study tour of eld exposure of dierent stratigraphic
se!uence" sedimentology and tectonic settings of himayalayan
region of Dehradun #ussoorie sector of $arhwal region consisting
of #h$ %$ss$r Hi"a%a&an and S'-hi"a%a&an .

MADEV*A AREA+ DEHRADUN
Stop1: Maldevta Area (near Som River)
%ere we examine #ain thrust boundary &#T'( b)w Shi*ali+ hills
and lower %imalayan hills. There is fault along Som ,i*er. Stri+e is
/ along 01-S2 and dip is 3/ degree long 0-2. Drop stone found
which e*idence of glaciations. 4t is a great e*ent of freezing in
which entire earth was freezing. 5n ri*er bed we found boulders
of +rol &limestone( and there is angular fragment inside clay
matrix.
Stop2: Chandpur
The 6handpur 7ormation is exposed along this mule trac+ from
the Toll barrier to 8athanghat for about .9+m. The se!uence
consists of blac+ to grey argillites with interbedded sandstone and
siltstone. Sandstone and siltstone within the argillites are : to 9
em thic+ and show laminations. The sandstone gets relati*ely
thic+er in the upper part and can be traced for few hundred
meters. These sandstones show laminations and pass upward into
0agthat 7ormation. The scale of lamination" continuity of thinly
bedded units and straight planar contacts between layers indicate
their deposition under low energy conditions" most probably in
lagoons in the nearshore shelf .
