GEOLOGICAL STUDY IN PRANMALAI HILLS

The Pranmalai area is generally a hard rock terrain. There is no sedimentary rock in Pranamalai except for recent soil alluvium. The Geological Survey of India [GSI] of Tamilnadu has already worked on random geological mapping in Tamilnadu and also around the Pranmalai region. But detailed geological mapping was not done previously in and around the Pranmalai region by any organization. Keeping this aim in mind in this project an attempt has been made in and around Pranmalai hills Sivagangai district Tamilnadu India to delineate petrography and mineralogy structural geological mapping work. This is the first advanced research work in the above study area.
