| Abstract: | A long curved dyke with peculiar vertical layering, in the Deccan VolcanicProvince of Saurashtra, was palaeomagnetically investigated. Palaeomagnetic measurements clearly indicate that the curved character of the dyke is due to some kind of tectonic drag deformation. Such deformation could have possibly developed in case the Saurashtra Peninsula has moved northwards along the Cambay Basin fault. There is a possibility that the horst in the southern part of Saurashtra may have been originally the continuation of the Satpura horst. |
