A Synthesis of Depositional Sequence of the Proterozoic Vindhyan Supergroup in Son Valley: A Field Guide: Springer Geology

Autor Subir Sarkar, Santanu Banerjee
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 sep 2020
This book offers extensive information on the course of sedimentation in the Proterozoic Vindhyan Basin and the potential record of ancient life stored within the rocks. It covers topics ranging from facies analysis to sequence-building, from carbonates to siliciclastics, and mixed lithology and life records from microbial to potentially eukaryotes, along with the basin evolutionary history. Further, the book includes 75 color photographs and accompanying hand-sketches to help readers grasp key aspects of Vindhyan Geology. Vindhyan rocks are well known for their excellent preservation of microbial record of earth. Offering a student-friendly field guide containing detailed route maps, geological maps and a wealth of visual examples, it is also extremely useful in terms of understanding the microbe-dominated environments on Mars.

Recenzii

“The book is primarily meant for graduate students … . The book is also useful in planning field trips to be organized for students and researchers. … Throughout the book, excellent field photographs illustrate the lithofacies and sedimentary structures well, and add to visual pleasure. … Reference list is up-to-date … attesting to the fact that readers are getting first-hand information in this book. … Certainly the libraries can subscribe to this useful field guide.” (Dilip Saha, Journal of Earth System Science, Vol. 131, 2022)

“The authors have ably combined their research findings and field traverse recordings, references in an exemplary manner and on reading the book it brings a virtual field trip to the Vindhyan Supergroup. … The authors’ wide experience and publications on the Vindhyan sequence are added merit of this book. An idealbook for students, researchers and trainee geologists. I congratulate the authors for their contribution and sharing their field knowledge and experience in this book.” (R. Nagendra, Journal of the Geological Society of India, Vol. 97, November, 2021)
