Abstract:The Raageshwari Volcanic Formation (RVF) is a volcanic complex in the southern part of the Barmer Basin, NW India, localized around a large rift centre horst block, the Central Basin High. The RVF comprises an initial sequence of acid igneous rocks, which are of ignimbritic origin, termed the Agni Member, overlain by a stacked sequence of basaltic lava flows interbedded with subordinate pyroclastic deposits, the Prithvi Member. Seismic data confirms that the volcanic complex has a conical overall geometry and … Show more
“…The combined analysis of onshore and offshore geochronology data (67-60 Ma) strongly indicates the occurrence of pre-, syn-and post-rift phase magmatic episodes of the India-Seychelles breakup [3]. The Reunion hotspot track hypothesis needs to be revisited in light of recent reporting of older ages along the WCMI [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
