| Abstract: | This paper presents aeromagnetic images for the Chhattisgarh basin region, in Central India, to provide a new window on Precambrian
basement geology and structure. On the basis of aeromagnetic patterns, the Chhattisgarh basin is sub-divided into a northern
low (negative) anomaly zone and a southern high (positive) anomaly zone. The northern portion of the main Chhattisgarh basin
has been further divided into two subbasins, the Hirri sub-basin in the west, and Baradwar sub-basin in the east. A prominent
negative anomaly delineates a NW-SE trending greenstone belt separating these sub-basins. Positive magnetic anomalies delineate
the extent of the Dongargarh granite and equivalents, while the weak magnetic anomaly in the southeast of the Dongargarh granite
and equivalents reflect granulite gneisses of the Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt. By applying the reduced-to-the-equator filter
we enhanced the possible magnetic sources and structural lineaments within the Chhattisgarh basin.
A new sketch map of structural elements was then compiled from aeromagnetic interpretation over the Chhattisgarh basin area.
It includes possible faults, folds and an inferred lithological boundary. |
