摘要

Late Quaternary movements along the faults that demarcate tectonic boundaries of the N-S trending terranes of Biligirirangan and Closepet Granite in the Southern Indian Shield caused pending of the River Kaveri and its tributaries Suvarnavati, Kabini and Shimsha of the Mysore Plateau. The resulting large lakes stretched tens of kilometres upstream in their valleys. Approximately 10 m thick black carbonaceous clay, characterized by prolific calcareous nodules including rhyzocretions in the top horizon, and covered locally by overbank fine sediments in floodways, represents the lakes that came into existence in the Late Pleistocene and lasted until Late Holocene. Subsequent fault movements were responsible for vertical displacement and attenuation of the lacustrine sediments. On-going movement is indicated by stream pending in some segments and accelerated erosion of the elevated blocks. [References: 16]
