S Ray, T Chakraborty - Sedimentary Geology, 2002 - Elsevier
The Lower Permian Barakar and overlying Motur Formations, in the southeastern part of the
Satpura Gondwana basin, India, reveal contrasting lithology and alluvial architecture.
Barakar Formation (∼ 225 m thick) consists of laterally extensive 5-to 20-m-thick
multistoreyed, multilateral coarse-grained sandstone bodies. In the upper part of the
formation, a few 1.5-to 11-m-thick coal–carbonaceous shale units alternate with the thick
sandstone bodies. In contrast, the Motur Formation is characterised by a thick (∼ 500 m …
