Interpretation <strong>of</strong> these data in terms <strong>of</strong> sequence stratigraphy<br />

and polaeoenvironment.<br />

A reconnoitre survey <strong>of</strong> the exposures <strong>of</strong> Indravati Group around Jagdalpur has<br />

been completed. Stromatolites arc noticed only in Jagdalpur Limestone and Sbale Formation<br />

Ihe Halkal Formation, Bhima Group, Karnataka were studied. These beds were equated<br />

remains and associated organic-walled micr<strong>of</strong>ossils inelicate that tbe heels <strong>of</strong> Halkal Formation<br />

are oleler than Pre Varanger glaciation, i.e., 700 Ma. The biological remains compare<br />

with the worlel wide assemblages found lor the perioel 1000-900 Ma.<br />
