From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pranhita–Godavari Basin is a northwest–southeast striking geological structural basin (rift basin) in eastern India. The basin contains up to 7 kilometres of sedimentary strata of late Carboniferous/Early Permian to Cretaceous age.[1] The basin is 400 km in length with a width of about 100 km and is terminated by the coast of the Indian Ocean on the southeast end.[2]
The Late Permian aged Kundaram Formation has provided a terrestrial vertebrate fauna. The Late Triassic and the Early Jurassic strata in the basin host dinosaur fossils.[3][4] The Pranhita–Godavari Basin contains four Triassic–Jurassic formations, namely Lower Maleri, Upper Maleri, Lower Dharmaram and Upper Dharmaram.[3][5]
