Autogenic and allogenic controls on the temporal palaeographic evolution of the Himalayan foreland basin: Insights from facies analysis of the lower Siwalik succession, Kumaun Himalaya, India
Abstract:The lower Siwalik succession in the south‐central Kumaun Himalaya records Middle Miocene fluvial sedimentation in the Himalayan foreland basin, the largest foreland basin of the world. Detailed facies analysis reveals three distinct facies associations, one of which is sand dominated channel deposits, and the other two are mudstone‐sandstone, and mudstone dominated overbank deposits. The initial sedimentation in the region was in channels and frequently/extensively flooded overbank areas of a meandering/anasto… Show more
