The Mesozoic and Tertiary basins of western Indian margin have special importance in terms of their genesis and tectonic evolution. Mesozoic stratigraphy has been identified in Jaisalmer, Kutch and Barmer basins. These basins initiated as intra-cratonic rift basins during Gondwana. Episodic rifting of Africa and India resulting in separation and drifting of the Indian plate during Late Gondwana (Jurassic to Early Cretaceous), developed these basins. Inheritance of pre-existing structures played a key role in basin evolution. The Cambay and the Tertiary rifting of Barmer basin was a consequence of oblique rifting between the Seychelles micro-continent and the Indian plate, having extension direction trending ~NE.
Swagato Dasgupta (M.Tech. Applied Geology) Senior Geologist in Reliance Industries Ltd., Navi Mumbai, INDIA. Proficient in structural geology, regional geology and seismic interpretation. Soumyajit Mukherjee is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He received his PhD in geology and MTech in applied geology from IIT Roorkee in 2007 and 2002, respectively, and received his BSc in geology from Presidency College (Kolkata) in 1999. He was a recipient of the Hutchison Young Scientist Award from IUGS in 2004. He served as the guest researcher at the Hans Ramberg Tectonic Lab, Uppsala University, from 2005 to 2006. Dr. Mukherjee, a structural geologist and tectonician, has performed fieldwork, microstructural studies, and analogue and analytical modeling, mainly on ductile shear kinematics and collisional tectonics. His research and editorial experience spans 15 years and so far he has authored and coedited 14 books and thematic volumes.
1. Introduction: Mainly Indian west coast tectonics review
2. Structural Inheritance: Brief review along with some global analogues to bring readers to the level of Chapters 4 and 5.
3. Brittle Shear Tectonics: Brief review to bring readers to the level of Chapters 4 and 5.
4. Rift Basin set up: Rift architecture in different extensional settings, major trends, basin evolution, episodes of structural deformation, paleostress, and analogous world examples. Aims to bring the readers to the level of Chapter 5.
5. Western Indian Basins: Field-based studies of Jaisalmer, Bikaner-Nagaur, Barmer, Kutch/Kachchh, Cambay and Saurastra basins. Structural geology of individual basins, palaeostress analyses, basin to basin as well as surface to sub-surface tectonic correlation by incorporation of seismo-geological sections (if seismic sections are difficult to access from oil & gas industries), tectono-sedimentary / tectono-stratigraphic events in relation to petroleum systems etc.
6. Gondwana Fragmentation– Its effect on W Indian plate margin: The bigger picture coming out from Chapter 5 in the light of plate tectonics and rifting of India-Africa-Madagascar and Seychelles will be discussed here.
