Volcano-Sedimentary Interactions in the Tadpatri Formation

This book is a compelling geological narrative that unravels the complex interplay between volcanism and sedimentation in the Proterozoic Tadpatri Formation of the Cuddapah Basin. Drawing on detailed fieldwork, petrography, geochemistry, and structural insights, the book explores how volcanic activity shaped sedimentary environments and contributed to early crustal evolution in peninsular India.
With lucid interpretations and a strong scientific foundation, the book brings to light the significance of volcano-sedimentary records as archives of Earth's early tectonic and geodynamic regimes. It presents a rare synthesis of volcaniclastic processes, hydrothermal alterations, and basin development—making it a valuable reference for geologists, researchers, and students interested in Precambrian geology, basin analysis, and crustal processes.
Whether you are an academic, an exploration geologist, or a curious reader of Earth's history, this volume offers an engaging window into the fiery and formative chapters of India's ancient geological past.
