The Padala Formation represents the sedimentary filling of the Padala graben. It is built up mostly of polymictic breccia and conglomerate interbedded with thin sandstone beds containing coalefied plant debris and thin coal lenses. The formation is of Palaeogene age. The Padala Formation belonged to a larger Palaeogene basin, and was situated close to the source area of the terrigeneous material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
