摘要

A study was carried out in one of the abandoned caves at Bhaja, Pune District, Maharashtra (Figure 1). In this abandoned cave, a partially consolidated, brownish-grey, parallel-laminated clayey sequence having a thickness of around 1 m and lateral extent of more than 4 m is found to occur between two massive, amygdaloidal basalt flows (Figure 2 a). Hand specimen reveals compact, fine, clay-rich laminations alternating with coarse granule, sandy and silty layers. The upper portions of the parallel-laminated, clayey sequence exhibit highly compressed, baked, undulating, broken and distorted laminations due to the heat and overloading pressure of the younger lava flows. The top of this clayey sequence also exhibits the development of mud cracks. The occurrence of highlyfragmented carbonized remains of plant material is commonly observed. Microscopic examination of the thin section shows a dominant mode of dark coloured, fine-grained clayey matter. Within this clayey matter, rounded to well-rounded detrital fragments of basalt are frequently observed. In addition, altered mineral grains of olivine, pyroxene and magnetite and the occurrence of secondary minerals like zeolites are also observed. Vitric materials, which are relics of volcanic glass, are commonly seen as rounded to sub-rounded yellowish-brown, altered fragments (Figure 2 b). At places, relatively fresh, vesicular, rounded fragments of glass shards (black in colour) are also observed. These characteristics clearly suggest the occurrence of an intertrappean horizon at one of the abandoned caves at Bhaja.
